Sometimes, I think a good old fashioned butt kicking is a beneficial learning experience*. After this incident, I doubt Sibrel went around getting in other peoples' faces, calling them liars and thieves. Buzz taught him that such crass actions can have painful consequences.

*My wife tells me that wife beating is rare in her native Philippines. Women tend to have large extended families there. Should some husband beat his wife, he'll soon get confronted by her father and a large cadre of brothers, cousins, etc. who will procede to teach him the error of his ways. She says it's understood and even the husband's family knows the score.

I just have trouble staying mad. So, at about three the next morning
"Hello, Mr. Filmmaker? I'm sorry I said you were a hack with spam for brains."

Depends upon what you mean by immature, I guess. Was the space race immature, in your opinion?

Well, if the saying goes "better late than never", then what about very, very early?

I think my apology would be more along the lines of "Hello, Mr. Filmmaker? I'm sorry that you are a hack with spam for brains."

Oh, pooh-pooh. Sometimes one has to defend one's physical space when it is intentionally (and in Aldrin's case, repeatedly) violated.

What did you expect Buzz to do, allow Sibrel to use his cellulite to bowl him over and then, as would behoove a former astronaut expressing a mature response while reclining on the ground, yell "Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!"?

Bravo, Buzz!


BTW, this thread's pretty healthy for being a six-year-old-timer.

Cool thread! I will look around the rest of the site later

Yep, a very cool thread, about eighteen months old though. You should try and avoid resurrecting old threads unless you have something substantive to add to them.

Speaking just for myself, I'm opposed to most posts that aren't substantive, posts that seem to be made just to post. About the only place I put "me, too!" posts are sympathies, where there isn't much else to say once you're about the third or fourth person along. "LOL" posts are just foolish.

Did you have to post this right after my "welcome" post??


Kidding, of course...

Surely if you are going to start a conspiracy theory it is best to start with something that might have a grain of truth or reality in it. To start with the preposterous and go downhill from there is just stupid. steve(primus) (Avatar)

Well maybe I can add something substantive to this thread , my wife brought home a new book for me last week, knowing of my interest in all things Apollo, "Magnificent Desolation" by Buzz Aldrin , basically an autobiography covering the years after 1969.

Towards the end there's an account from buzz's side of the confrontation with Sibrel, including the almost universal acclaim he received from the media after the event , oh and he managed never to mention Sibrels name once

Blessings on him!

Boppa, the issue is, for one, that he posted in an old thread without mentioning that he had, which I do think is polite to mention. Second, you may notice that the issue is the substantive nature of the post.

Badsciencemonk, I'm sorry if we seem rude, and I'm sorry if you take offence. Please don't take it as a symbol that we don't want you. You have just fallen into the crossroads of a couple of varying debates.

Just had a look at BS' site for a laugh and couldn't help noticing that he has mis-spelt his URL.

http://www.moonmovie.com/

Surely there should be an 'r' in between the two 'o's.

Bart had it coming thou I don’t personally know the guy but he had it coming to him. The youtube videos are just too laughable.

Well he Magnificently left Bart with a Desolation of a punch, right on the chops!

Buzz Aldrin Punches Bart Sibrel

You get away from me! [oomph!]

I was curious to how low the Buzz-Lite-Punch was in terms of low end frequency. The warm red spots are the wind fluttering on the microphone. The highlighted yellow is the Buzz-Lite-Punch effect!



Program used is SpectrumLab.

I could swear he was former U.S. Marines? Well maybe the other astronauts are then.

Buzz went to West Point , and then the US Airforce , first to Korea, then to Bitburg in Germany .. no Marine corps involvement at all ..

John Glenn on the other hand was a "MiG Mad Marine" ....(nose art on his F-86E Sabre)

IMHO Sibrel had it coming.

I wouldn't punch him in the nose though, I'd....do what Bobby did in the King of the Hill episode "Bobby Goes Nuts." Him, along with Kaysing, Ralph Rene, and all the other Moon Hoax idiots.

Both Kaysing and Ralph Rene aren't with us anymore, so doing anything Bobby style wouldn't do much.
