"Delusional" is the word you're looking for.
Unusually for this crowd, I
don't come at debunking from a scientific angle at all. I consider warping history to be a great crime. The history only works if Apollo was and is real. If these men really went to the Moon and back. If the great machinery behind it ground out a real program with real science that still really works. Once you claim it's a hoax, you have to explain not just the history of those people who worked the program but the history of those people who created the hoax. You have to explain the history of those outside the US who accepted the hoax, including those who weren't exactly our allies at the time--the history of the Cold War only works if the Apollo missions were real. If the history of the Cold War is wrong, there's even more explaining to do.
So how did I get into it? I encountered Phil's book in a bookstore, then--since I didn't have money at the time--I checked it out of the library. I got fascinated and read the website in its entirety. (This was before the blog.) Eventually, I ended up posting to the forum, though mostly what I contribute in this section is either correcting spelling and grammar where necessary and where asked or asking the Great Obvious Questions.
The Great Obvious Questions? What would it take to convince you that you're wrong? How and why was it done? If you can't answer those two questions, you don't have anything on those who accept the evidence.
