Default First post, Hello everyone.

Hi everyone, I heard from this forum by Ong at Pravda, so I decided to give it a read, and see if I can get some answers about some of the bad science I probably developed over the years. The fake moon landing for instance does pose problems for me. That the video is no longer available, I'd like to be able to see it and verify some hypothesis about it.

Welcome to BAUT, RobertD!

I've moved your first post (and thread) from the About BAUT, to the Off-Topic Babbling section, which is where it really belongs.

Welcome to the board. It seems you are looking for some fake landing footage. It is probably still available even though I sold my last copy a week ago.

Hi everyone, I heard from this forum by Ong at Pravda,

And, like Ong, it didn't take him long to melt down...

so I decided to give it a read, and see if I can get some answers about some of the bad science I probably developed over the years.

... once those answers were inconveniently detailed by knowledgeable people...

The fake moon landing for instance does pose problems for me.

... the problem being that we're used to handwaving and diversionary tactics....

That the video is no longer available,

... not to mention claims, based on some half-remembered and never-understood article on some popular web site, which are simply incorrect anyway...

....I'd like to be able to see it and verify some hypothesis about it.

... except that when he botched some simple math, and was corrected, it was time for some bobbin' and weavin' and liar-this and finally the Big Burst O' Profanity Grand Finale.

Sorry, Robert, but if you come here asking questions, you need to be prepared for answers. And losing your temper for not getting your beliefs reinforced won't get you anywhere.

3 days. Banning must be a badge of honor.

On some sites, a banning here IS a badge of honor.

Banned? That was fast. Must have missed something.

One of those "Move it along folks, nothing to see here" moments?

Funnily enough, in his last post in his CT thread, I do believe he called me JayUtah's "BoyToy". I'm part honored, part utterly horrified

He called people worse things in his "goodbye" post, which is why I deleted it.

I don't visit those "other" forums, but I'm sure they just go back there and use thier ban from BAUT as "proof" that there is some big coverup in the scientific community, and that they were banned because the mods here were afraid we'd all learn the truth about thier dark ways!

Honestly it'd be much more interesting, in a Hollywood kinda way, if that were true. The funny part is, they spend so much time spouting this nonsense that they'll never have time left to learn about the real world around them, which is much more amazing and interesting than any cheesey big-brother movie. *shrug*

I wonder whether that means, if one does go to such other fora, that we could compile a list of internet discussion sites which, like BAUT, have sensible rules re civility and decorum, critical thinking, the scientific method, etc?
