don't think so

You have yet to admit your comments were either an error or easily misinterpreted despite having them plainly pointed out. Your position is not the issue. Misrepresenting the position of others is. Are we to infer from your drop it reaction that you are unwilling to admit a mistake or at least that others had good reason to misinterpret what you meant? That is not a good approach to getting people to trust you.

I explicitly told you what comments you made that seemed to misrepresent the opinions of the Mars crowd. I don't see how you can deny those comments could be interpreted as you claiming the Mars folks proposed Mars as an NEO search base. You provided no alternative explanation. Honest, rational, and well meaning people still make mistakes but they admit them when they do. Honest, rational, and well meaning people write things that are misinterpreted, but they can admit other interpretations are reasonable. There are a few people here incapable of either. Which group do you fall in?

I personally think you made an honest mistake, but don't think much of your reaction so far to having it pointed out.

see ya
