Such as?
Such as 'sorry I was unable to conduct a reasoned argument without disparaging others who know more about the subject than me simply by virtue of their greater years and experience'?
Vincent, you're not a moron. You're clearly passionate about whatever subject you set your mind to researching. The problem, as gillianren says, is that you present that learning sometimes as if, once hearing about it, it's the be all and end all and everyone
must be impressed with your level of understanding. Believe me, if your knowledge is impressive people will be impressed. If they are not impressed, and they tell you why, you need to listen to that because it might just be that your understanding is incomplete. And I'm sorry but the fact is that your age
does matter here. As an example, I am more than twice your age. I have been looking at stuff relating to astronomy and Apollo and other related subjects longer than you have been alive. My education in the relevant fields has progressed further than yours. That doesn't mean I know everything and you can't possibly tell me things I don't know, but it does mean that you can't, for example, lecture me on physics as you tried to do more than once in this thread.
The most frustrating thing for us was that you first came on here vehemently defending Jarrah White and the notion that the Apollo missions were faked. Then after some time interacting here you realised your mistake and came back having 'switched sides', so to speak. Fine. But then you came on just as vehemently attacking the validity of the Shenzhou missions, showing no indication that you had learned anything beyond the technical details of Apollo from your time discussing it with us. Nothing about the way arguments need to be presented and supported. Nothing about who and what constitute reliable sources of information. Nothing about how the people here knew what they knew and how they applied it, which might have made you think twice before saying some of the things that you have now apologised for in the first place.
And then, after all that, to come on here making a big announcement about your return, and using terms like 'run off' to describe what was in fact simply you retreating from the discussion for whatever reason, makes me wonder what it is you expect in response.
