[misinterpreted Maksutov]

Posting in the wrong forum, spreading his discussion outside his own allocated thread, and his (corrected) accusations against NASA and ESA is behaviour I disagree with. However, he has not personally attacked us, continues to respond and give what he thinks supports his theory on an astronomy subject. Therefore, I don't see him as a true troll. I believe that learning him how to handle scientific methods, and admitting being wrong (which is totally acceptable and still alllowed) is of bigger value than getting him banned for the limited trolling behaviour. Believing in incorrect theories is not necessarily trolling, and I give him some slack in that.

It might have been justified to say more directly (but polite of course) to him that his theory does not make any sence concerning the given proof to me, and that I don't believe the "rocket scientist" story in the opening thread anymore, instead of only prooving him wrong with reasoning.
