Thanks for all the advice, folks. I have been in situations like this, and I will do what I always do: I will be polite, but I will be persistent. I didn't let him get away with anything in the radio interview and I'm sure not going to let him get away with anything on national TV.

I won't insult him; it's not my style. However, that does not mean I will back off in calling 'em as I see 'em. If he's wrong, I'm not going to say "Well, really.." I'll say "You are completely and utterly wrong!"

If his sales go up on his video, I might write a more thorough page on it. I talked with Andy Chaikin (an Apollo expert) last night for a couple of hours, and we found evidence that totally blows Mr. Sibrel's video out of the water. His "secret reel" is actually in the public domain, for one thing, and has been available for a long time. He edits out important parts of the astronauts' footage which shows they truly are on their way to the Moon, for another.

Honestly, his video uses remarkably bad and transparent logic. And despite his claims, not everyone believes him: have you read the reviews on Amazon lately? [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
