Forums are for open debate and discovery. And yes I do expect some responsibility from myself as well as others. When I make a statement and it is challenged I feel an obligation to show my evidence. And I will challenge your opinions asking of your evidence.
I have been challanged and subjected to much criticism. Some rather rude and derogatory terms as well. The ones on this forum are some of the milder ones. Would have been a lot easier to simply agree with everyone and say you are right and I will shut up and go away.
Open forum. If you think my questions and curiosity are less than worthy of your time then you can choose not to respond.
I choose to post where my questions will come under the most intense critical review of informed educated and inquiring minds because that is where I have the potential to learn the most.
If your intention is to denigrate and discourage those who would ask questions then why do you even bother to further your own knowledge?
Attitude of superiority does not impress. Just a barrier to communication. I am not surprised at the vast number of conspiricy theories in the general public. Attitude.
Accept the burden to refute or just ignore. That choice is yours to make.
Change your avatar, that one looks a little pompous. Just my humble opinion.

Ok now Bart, I need to give a few humble opinions of my own here.
JayUtah is probably well accustomed to his avatar being picked on- so I won't comment on that but I will comment that your opinion may be that- it certainly was not humble.
You contradicted yourself too.
You said that you chose to discuss the topic here in order to receive well educated responses. Which is exactly what you are receiving from some here.
Yet you then turn around and claim you're being given superior attitudes- So which is it?
You say that you understand that some folks will have commentary. Yet you react sharply to not just commentary- But to good scientific advice and sound judgment as well.
You claim the folks here must accept the burden to refute? It doesn't work that way. Not here- nor anywhere else. Not in a courtroom. Not in science and not in life. You made the claim. You must accept the burden of proof.
Not only are you ignoring common sense here, you are ignoring the evidence you already have.
i do not believe for a moment that you will be satisfied until you prove your claims true.
Because all the evidence that you have that demonstrates that it's just a rock is not good enough now- it never will be.
If NASA bent over backwards providing you with all the data you want- it wouldn't be enough.
Don't you understand that you are seeking to justify your theory? That you will not stop searching until you have done so?
It is not about trying to learn the "truth."
It is about you obsessing over an absurdity and doing whatever it takes to make excuses and justify your apparent obsession with it.
