Robert,

No guilt on my part.

Robert said: "How can you, an aspiring amateur scientist yourself, trash the work of other amateurs, on the irrelevant grounds of politically incorrect association? You, who are so vulnerable to the very same charge!"

I didn't trash their paper at all Robert. In fact, I didn't even mention it, I mentioned merely that they support Hoagland, someone both Keith Cowing and Mark Eby, loyal members of the Mars Society, claim to detest. In fact, I believe the policy of this board is to exclude anomalists but yet not their supporters? I am not even knocking the anomalists at all, just questioning the motives of the Mars Society. What is next then, the Art Bell show Mars Society hour? These are all things the Mars Society attack dogs have been punishing people postingat at MSNBC for years. I wanted to show how hypocritical they are.

Had Cowing and crew found ICAMSR to have "anomalists" in our camp. we would never hear the end of it. What comes around goes around. Mark Eby started a thread about my honesty and integrity and now I question the motives of his beloved Mars Society -- that is really all. Just seems like the MS is looking for all manner of cash cows these days. In otherwords, they are using every trick in the book.
