Subject: When do you think Mulder. . .?

was permanently written off as a nutcase by the vast majority of the F.B.I. hierarchy?? I recently rewatched "Pusher" and was pleasantly surprised to see how well the other agents accepted his suggestions and leadership. Agent Frank Burst — an older agent who seemed to be the head of a division or something — came to Mulder and Scully for help and, although he was a *little* sceptical of some of Mulder's theories, he basically went with Mulder's scenario for trapping Pusher; this was in season three. Later, in season five, when Pusher escapted in "Kitsungari", Mulder was given full credit as being "the agent who originally put him behind bars" and was made the Special Agent in Charge of the hunt to recapture him.
By late season five/early season six, however, Mulder (Scully, too, but to a lesser extent) seemed to pretty much be a bureau pariah and was constantly having to justify his work, the existance of the X-Files, etc. Of course, from the very beginning it was apparent that the higher-ups were, at best, ambivalent at about Mulder; he was regarded as a brilliant criminal profiler but was also tagged "Spooky" for his unusual beliefs in aliens and the paranormal. At what point do you think they decided he was more of a liablity than an asset and why??
