Yes, I removed mine since it was obviously OT.
As all can see, Serenitude has taken it upon himself to determine "Planet X" is a conspiracy. I'm actually waiting for a Mod to say whether or not it really should be considered as such.

...seems like a long way to go for a potato.
(Sorry, just trying to share a chuckle.)

I stand corrected. I would have to say that potatoes orbiting at the Kuiper Cliff would be ATM ![]()

A good decision , I never posted in this thread , whatever my opinion. First , because it has nothing to do with astronomy , two it give a bad image to this site , three because it is too much ideological , dividing topics without any results.You dont learn anything from these threads.
Let post on our common matter of interest : astronomy even if we disagree seriously on many issues. |

As the term has been used around here by proponents, it certainly is a CT.

Trying to show evidence pointing at a possible tenth (or ninth, according to the IAU, though I'll choke before I put it out of parentheses) planet is fine, so long as observed data is used, not overly parsed ancient myths or doomsday delusions.

I think the point is "planet X" tends to be a generic term for a body(or bodies) that may exist based on observation or probability, and also used (because it sounds so cool) as the name for some "alien planet/planet-craft" that roams the galaxy building pryamids and moon-faces. One is an astronomy discussion and the other is...to be polite...a CT. (also better words to describe it but I'll stay within BAUT rules
)Only downfall to all this is I'll haveta go back to daily comic-strips to get my daily dose of humor, as now that the non (outer)space/science CT's are locked, CT-section activity is drastically lower ![]()

I see the truncated EKB, Sedna, CR105, et al. as evidence for Planet X.
No CT at all. This is of course, regardless of my knowledge of Myth, Sitchin, etc. ![]()

It could once have been said anything I posted in any thread concerning belief would be attributable automatically as an attack on religion. Took a bit of doing, and the occassional third, fourth, or fifth edit, or sometimes just huffing and closing the editor, but I got away from that.

I'm unsure what it is you're telling me to try, if anything at all?

Meaning, provided you lay off the Sitchin references while trying to define what a possible Planet X is, eventually, and probably not too long afterwards, not everything you say about a Planet X will be dismissed as Sitchinism in disguise.

Oh, I see.
The thing is, outside of Sitchin threads (of which there haven't been any in some time) I've not referred to him unless brought up by others. Yet, countless threads have gone that direction simply because of my ideas about ETi, Planet X, etc.

Careful.
This thread is starting to turn into a Planet X (or pick a letter) discussion. I'm sure the BAUT staff would take a dim view of such a progression. Meanwhile as mentioned in the other thread, brava/o to the admins and mods for lassoing a runaway steer! It will be nice to get back to subjects having to do with the primary reason for this BB. ![]()
