She, I believe.

If so, I stand corrected.  It just strikes me that, as rare as you and I are in being female defenders, female hoax believers are even more rare still.  Or at least, the ones who care enough to hang about online and try to convince people.

Yes, I've noticed that.  The imbalance of genders amongst people interested in spaceflight is certainly there, but appears to be far more pronounced amongst HBs we encounter.

I wonder why.

As much as I don't like to defend HBs, especially not ones who are spouting the same tired old rubbish we've seen a million times before, I would point out that the first appearance of eternidad was only yesterday. It seems a bit unfair to assume someone has gone away, and to make light of it because they said they wouldn't be, because they haven't been back the next day.

Because HBs won't stop to ask for directions.

Personally, if I were going to make a statement about how I wasn't going away, I would make sure to do so only if I could be sure I would return quickly--or else make a statement the first time saying that I wouldn't be able to post regularly but that I would return as often as possible.  Still, you do have a point.

Seconded.  Sometimes people just have other things to do; to be fair to eternidad, let's hold off on such talk for a while.

Dear Jason Thomson
I have not gone away; I just could not find the forum.
I am going to send you some of the weirdest Apollo photos, as soon as I put them together somewhere and if I find the page

I have been studying the Apollo pictures and I say that they never went to the moon.



Do you know what the bare assertion fallacy is?

I want to say something about myself
I am an atheist and a sceptic and I love science, especially astronomy.
I used to be an amateur astronomer before I had my children, when I could not look at the stars anymore and I used to believe that Neil Armstrong had been the first man on the moon.
Then one day I came across a website of someone proposing the moon landing hoax and at first I did not want to believe it, until I found the inconsistencies in the pictures.

 I was going to send a few pictures but my computer is not behaving at the moment

Recommend you bookmark the page. It will save time finding this place again leaving for time for discussion.

Dear Jason Thomson

Why are you singling me out?

Are you prepared to listen to the explanations you are given for your 'inconsistencies', or have you made up your mind on the subject already? Nothing from your website shows anything we haven't seen many many times before.

So your whole world view on the subject was changed by one website? Which one?

We await your report.  I suggest that you start it in a new thread since this one has been going for a few pages on another topic.  And be prepared to defend any inconsistencies in the photos that you assert to be evidence of a hoax.   Or if you really are just confused about what you have read elsewhere, be prepared to discuss the responses to your posts.

A quick Google search shows that a user named "Eternidad195" is a big fan of Hunchbacked's YouTube videos.  Are you the same person?
The evidence certainly points to it. I see a lot of Hunchy's stuff toward the bottom of the page, complete with references to "incoherencies".

I can see that this one is going to be in the category of 'nothing new here folks'. I spotted one of his comments on youtube :

"There is the Lunar Lander with bits of sellotape holding it together, Buzz Aldrin saluting the flag with different color of boots, strange footprints amidst the astronaut's footprints, and the same mountains repeated all over the place."
