Apparently! Also, as noted above, you can not seek redress for any crime the judge and jury did not themselves witness.
This will set jurisprudence back 2000 years or more.
At least! On the plus side, if he really believes this, someone could Buzz Aldrin his ass with no repercussions.

That might be too much fun!!!!
Speaking of Buzz, I was browsing abovetopsecret this afternoon and found a thread in which the people were discussing the YT video of said event, declaring the punch never landed.  Never heard this before.

Never heard it quite like that, but I have heard ( actual hearsay mind) of CT who claim Bart Sibrel is actually working for NASA to make CT look bad or something.

If that were true he is doing a bang up job.

I remember someone claiming it was "staged" (and, I presume from the brunt of their argument, faked, but they never actually said it) because in some clip they found on line, the audio didn't appear to synch with the blow.

That was the line in the thread. I have to ask, if it was bogus then why did Bart attempt to sue?

Hey, thanks for all the replies.

I've been having major trouble getting back on here, getting some kind of "database error" over the past few login attempts, so sorry I haven't kept up.

Regarding the YouTube thread, I was pretty amused when the guy kept getting asked the same question over and over again, and he'd go further and further off the deep end with cursing, homoerotic slurs, and all sorts of weird stuff. He kept demanding that all the "Apollo fools" produce "one piece of evidence" that supported their claim, and one of them came back with links to the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal, Clavius, The Lunar and Planetary Institute, Phil Plait's site, the Project Apollo Archive, Bob Braeunig's site, this forum, and two or three more. Then when he finally got obscenely nasty and foul-mouthed, I sort of lost interest. I went to copy the link as someone requested, and accidentally closed the tab, and now I can't find it again!

I tried to go through my history to find the link but for some reason it's not there. I went back over a month and there are no YouTube visits at all in my history.

So, unless I happen to run across it again...

Bringing my original question back up again, why do people do this? Why do they sit there and keep screaming as loudly as they can that the whole thing was faked, and nothing will ever change their minds about it? How can anyone possibly be that intransigent in today's world?

You don't "believe" that the lunar landings happened. You either understand the science or you don't.

If the lessons of history teach us any one thing, it is that no one learns the lessons that history teaches...

That's why The Daily Show reversed the clip when he was on, so they could make that very joke.

Sorry about that. My web host decided to upgrade my server last night and it caused some issues. Everything should be back to normal now.
It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth.
I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth.
I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.

Not an issue, LO... I'm just glad that I can relax in the comfort of the great minds here, and not risk a stroke on You Tube... Those people are the very textbook definition of stupidly insane. And they won't do a thing about it. I don't understand why.

Not being in the business, but is renting a more efficient way to go instead of owning a server? 
Just asking. :)
