Once again I ask, this time in regards to FatFreddy, whether it is indeed good sport to engage and taunt those who are clearly mentally ill. Schadenfreude is not a noble pleasure.

If you really believe this to be true, then PM the mods/admin. with your concerns. they are solely responsible for the continuation of this thread.
Personally, when anyone tries to tell me that Apollo was faked, they then become "fair game". Certainly ain't gonna lose any sleep over the mental state of other posters....not only is it not my "problem", but what is the alternative?...allow him to post anything his whim desires, unchallenged. Hell no.... |

I'm not qualified to determine whether someone is mentally ill, and I doubt you are either. I am however qualified to determine whether someone is reasoning inappropriately (for whatever reason), and I will address statements on that basis. Further, FatFreddy88 has made statements elsewhere that could be considered defamatory against me and others. I believe I am within my rights to attempt to hold him accountable for those statements.

Both good points. I suppose it's hard for me to understand how someone who is so single-mindedly and obsessively deluded (not just about the facts of Apollo, but also about his own abilities and arguments) could be considered mentally healthy. But of course I've never read the DSM, so I'm going by a folk conception of sanity.

http://www.internationalskeptics.com...&postcount=128 Hey Jay. My position is that the movement of the flag in this clip is consistent with the atmphere explanation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymwE1sNm82Y (2:36 time mark) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFMpmjEv9o0 If your position is that this footage wasn't taken in air, how would the flag move in air? How would the movement be different than it is? |

Sure, and by those standards nearly every conspiracy theorist on here would be considered nuts by at least somebody. And on the other side of the coin, I know people who have been diagnosed by fully qualified psychiatrists as mentally ill in some respect or another, but who nevertheless have full reasoning faculties. "Rational" and "mentally ill" are not opposites.
FatFreddy88 is clearly irrational. That much we can conclude by observation. You may argue that he is so irrational as to preclude intelligent conversation with him, and many would agree with you. But I see no reason why he deserves sympathy, at this point. |

Fairly irrelevant since no one here (excepting one person) agrees with you.
240 - 1...against, is not something to "brag" about, yet you keep posting that "they deicde for themselves". Well, they have decided and found your ideas "wanting".

Aside...re-watched the episode in question recently, and had forgotten the flag waving experiment. the "build team" actually DID demonstrate that the flag waves longer when moved in a vacuum, than when moved in an atmosphere. The reasoning being no air resistance in a vacuum to slow it as fast as air resistance from one atmosphere.
So basically, freddy's idea re. the mythbusters is crap....no other way to say it. |

Well, this is just a guess, but they don't have any reason to do your dirty work for you?...that they know crap when they see it?
You were banned from BAUT for being unresponsive and not providing evidence for your ideas...that you are unable to understand that, is part of your delusion. |

http://www.internationalskeptics.com...&postcount=128 I'd like to post the info directly, but I've been told I can't... http://www.internationalskeptics.com...postcount=7988 ...so please don't play dumb about the info there. Yes, I know that the forum is called "Apollo Hoax Net". I refer to it as the "Clavius" forum so that viewers will know what I'm referring to; I've seen that forum referred to as the Clavius forum on a few other sites. A lot of people might not know what I'm referring to it I call it by its correct name. When I click on "Web forum" at this site... http://www.clavius.org/ ...that's the forum that appears so I don't think it's unreasonable to call it the "Clavius forum".

Insufficient and unacceptable.

http://www.internationalskeptics.com...postcount=7990 That was your response to this issue. http://www.internationalskeptics.com...postcount=7907 Sorry, but this issue is simply too basic to obfuscate. You're not fooling any of the real viewers. You're also playing dumb about the info in the link at the bottom of this post. http://www.internationalskeptics.com...&postcount=128 You may sway a few people who don't take the time to look at the info, but people who look at it will see you for what you are. |

Simple; if it were in air, it would move at different times (not just the one example.) Why point at the one time it appears to have been moved by the breeze of a passing astronaut, and ignore all the times it does NOT move -- even in the slightest -- in response to activity near it.
In addition, when it does move, it moves in a way inconsistent with being in atmosphere. It does not billow. The motions it makes are extremely un-natural for an object in atmosphere. Plus, of course, there are other objects within the same footage that also fail to react as if they are in atmosphere. Finally, the proposed mechanism (a breeze made by a passing astronaut) has not been successfully demonstrated by experiment. So, again, "atmosphere" fails as an explanation. |

I want you all to explain how you think the flag would move in atmosphere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymwE1sNm82Y Your positions are that it's not in atmosphere, so please explain how it would move if it were in atmosphere. You seem to be checkmated by this issue. Objective truth-seekers modify their opinions when they see their positions don't add up. They don't tap dance around and hope the issue will go away. I suppose you'd just tap dance around on the moon thread at Spurstalk too though. |

The invisible "real" viewers, who don't EVER post...they can't even be bothered to vote in a poll. Or are you still implying that there is some kind of censorship on this board...ya never know what will "set off" the mods. Perhaps if you repeat that enough times, you'll get banned. A "win, win". ![]() Naw...that's just wishful thinking. |

Wider than WHAT?
How have you measured the original impetus? How have you determined the forces involved? All you have is the observation of what it looks like in the video. Your only way to judge the forces involved is by measuring the results shown in the video. So the appropriate motion is -- exactly as seen in the video. This is regardless of whether the video was taken in atmosphere at 1 G or on the Moon. |

Nonsense. You're simply repeating the same inference that got you banned at Apollohoax -- anyone who disagrees with you is ipso facto insincere. You know that neither I nor anyone else accepts that explanation. Do better than that.
You say I'm being paid by the government to dispute Apollo hoax theories, which I know to be true. Present your evidence for that accusation or withdraw it. There is no point in my debating you at any time or in any place if your response to everything is merely to accuse me of being a paid shill. |

No--what you can't do is make baseless accusations about sockpuppetry, which is a bannable offense. You believe the poll was somehow rigged? Feel free to go to the Forum Management forum and post your claim there. But you won't, because you have absolutely no evidence, and there are likely many members (yes, "real viewers")--me, for one--who participated in the poll willing to prove they are real people who voted freely about not believing your nonsense. Your claims would be torn to shreds, and you know it. |
