Arguing with IDW/Romulus is like trying to play chess with a pigeon!

Nah.  The pigeon would actually have a chance.

You're obviously not familiar with the expression. Its from a quote by Scott D. Weitzenhoffer

"Debating creationists on the topic of evolution is rather like trying to play chess with a pigeon — it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory"

Romolus' style of "debate" (and I use the word cautiously) in the brief period he was here was the very definition of "pigeon chess". No matter how good any of us were, all he did was knock the pieces over, talk shite on the board and and then strutted around as though he won. I have absolutely no doubt he would have gone back to whatever gobshite board of nutjobs he usually haunts and told everyone how he "gave those NASA shills over at the Apollo board a good thrashing!"

He is quite infatuated with his dead brother.

I'm just waiting for him to grow a guitar, a bicycle, and a wife from somewhere in Asia.

It's quite intriguing. Either we have real evidence of survival of the human soul (and proof of its ability to post on message boards), or a brother taking up the mantle of Apollo conspiracy-mongering in his brother's name. Or, third option, we have a man who "cleverly" led people to think Dr. Socks was his brother, not himself, but can't remain off the grid to maintain the fiction after his brother passed away.

Would the third option be considered a "reverse sock" operation?

Or the 4th option, Fattydash 'stole' Dr Tekeli's identity but was then scuppered when the real guy died.
Given Patrick's enthusiasm for inventing identities and friends / spouses, and his lack of medical knowledge, it's not that unlikely. Mind you I would have expected him to re-emerge sooner if that were the case.

"Reverse sock" is my preferred theory right now.  Dr. Patrick Spencer Tekeli lived in San Francisco and died in 2013.  Under this theory, Faddydash/P1K and other socks were Michael the whole time semi-impersonating Patrick.  The pair may just have considered the whole thing a big joke and after the death of Dr. T, Michael feels the need to repair the damage to Dr. T but still can't overcome his joker nature to admit to the truth in order to do it.


Enquiring minds want to know.

I suspect it might be a little like the plot of a thriller - you know, the serial killer is being hunted, but throws suspicion off on an innocent person. Now that the police are off his trail, he can settle down, and never be hunted again.

Except that he *likes* doing what made people hunt him in the first place.

Metaphors aside, if Dr. Socks were not Patrick Tekeli, whoever the person was who was claiming to be him had an obvious burning need to talk about his favorite conspiracy theories. He may have had to go underground for a while once his scapegoat was gone, but he couldn't abandon the fun permanently.

I see that good old Cosmo is still link spamming. He posted a link in the comments section at http://www.firstmenonthemoon.com/ that links to a thread he started five years ago at the Spurstalk forum. Well, to give him credit, for once it was only one.

He was gone for a few hours after claiming the UV images from Apollo 16 didn't exist because he never heard of them then comes back with the above linked post.

The guy is a cretin. I'm sorry, but there's no other word for it.

As for GLP? I can feel myself getting stupider every minute I read that thread.

He's tried to dismantle relativity with anti-semitism thrown in for good measure. It makes 'interesting' reading. Most rabid Einstein debunkers that I have crossed tend to show anti-semitism at some point.

He's a moron.

If he wanted, he could actually buy a report studying the UV images right now:

http://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/SearchResults?kn=S+201+Catalog+of+Far-Ultraviolet+Objects&sts=t&x=55&y=7

published in 1978 - it's this one http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19780010014.pdf

The stars in them are exactly where they should be too!

http://onebigmonkey.comoj.com/obm/ap16uv.html

The famous image of Earth taken in UV was published all over the place - how can anyone who claims to have studied the subject not know about them is beyond me.

I particularly like IDW's comment slightly earlier in that thread...

Claims and evidence are two different things. I can't seem to find any of these ultraviolet images anywhere. Can you?
I suspect the reason for that is they do not exist, but I am sure NASA can fabricate some up for you.

Translation:  If I can't find the images, they don't exist.  If I can find them, they're fake.

Brilliant piece of fallacy from GLP's hive of sludge-spewers.

Cheers!

Have to compliment you and say that is another great piece of work. I really need to put something together about radiation some day.

I know. It was one of the first areas I stumbled upon when I investigated the CT claims. It is very difficult not to find the UV star experiment, and to claim that stars were not observed from the lunar surface where they should be is (IMHO) deceitful.
