Out of curiosity, I just spent some time perusing your exchanges with him at IMDb and Yahoo.
To quote an old movie the title of which I can't remember just now: "That man* doesn't like you." It really seems personal with him. You must have disparaged his late man-crush at some point.
*The management does not endorse this term with respect to the referenced individual.
You didn't see what was removed. Jay is a high profile target. He operates in the aerospace industry among others. He has both TV appearances and consultancy. What hoaxer would not drool at the chance to take him down, show him up. In their tiny craniums, if they can demonstrate one mistep, then the whole house of cards collapses.
It's nutso. I am an engineer. Anyone who can do some basic research can know who I am. I have posted it here and elsewhere. I am not afraid of anything. One of the things that was important to me was, you sign up to a code of ethics, and admit to being beholden to it, and possibly prosecuted if you breach it.
The Hoaxers? not so much. All anonymous, no ethics.
They are a very strange breed. Rampant Dunning-Kruger is a common trait, of course, and a lot of topsy-turvy thought processes, along with an inability to see the obvious.
I've had occasion over the years to have some, well, let's call them spirited debates with individuals in my profession who have higher credentials than I do. I have, in fact, a reputation in my own field as a bit of a contrarian when it comes to traditional approaches to some things. However, I do have a degree of my own and years of hands-on experience in my field (Emergency Services), so I feel entitled to an opinion in that area.
But. That doesn't mean that I deny numbers in front of my face, or presume to think that just because I don't understand something it can't be understood. You have to possess a special brand of combined arrogance and stupidity to debate an expert on his home ground, especially when you're
not a expert in that field.
On top of everything else, it seems to me that if you follow their reasoning
(?) to its logical
(?) conclusion, it always leads - whether they acknowledge it or not - to some ultimate fantasy like aliens, illuminati, some other sort of shadow world government, etc, because in the end there's no other way to explain the level of complicity that would be required... pretty much every geologist in the world, as one example. Not that the HBs use any recognizable form of reason or logic - their arguments are usually somewhere between PeeWee Herman and a late night political debate down the pub on Saturday night.
And of course, the Government-Controlled-Media are in on it. It may be that people who haven't spent much time in the US don't understand and/or believe it, but do any of us here have trouble picturing the feeding frenzy that would happen if
even one piece of credible evidence of a Moon Hoax came to light? Man, Sam Donaldson would be out of retirement before you could say "
Green Cheese" and I wouldn't be surprised if Uncle Walter came out of his grave to lead the charge.
It's not been my habit to quote the Bible in recent years, but the phrase that come to mind is that "They are liars, and the truth is not in them".
Sorry for spilling rant everywhere; it's late and my mind is tired.
