Barry having fun
I think you're having some fun ragging on your Mars Soc targets because they let folks with an association to that irresponsible fraud Hoagie present. No problem with that here. The way I see it is, anyone who behaves in a scientific manner, following the rules of science, should be allowed to present topics relevant to Mars at Mars Soc meetings. Associations with known idiots should not de facto rule them out. Unscientific methodology (selective use or non-use of evidence, misrepresentation, etc.) should rule someone out.
