As for:
>>>>I dont get paid by tax dollars... some of my projects get NSF money, but that doesnt pay my salary. so why do I dislike thee? Let me count the ways...<<<<
So you receive tax dollars, but your resentfulness of me has NOTHING to do with my pro-entrepreneurial stance... I see. As for:
>>>1) You rerely post much of substance<<<
I read this through a tax subsidies prism and I also invite you to learn how to spell before you claim others' postings lack substance. At whom are your nonindex fingers pointing when you point at and accuse me?
>>>2) you show little understanding on the subjects you rant about<<<
I've sought to strengthen my reform proposals through subjecting them to criticisms here, and at times I get meaningful feedback. That is always very much appreciated. Screed's to be expected from those of your parasitic philosophy. Somehow I sense that you fear competitive prizes' emergence because you'd no longer have as much of a corner on the market for your supply of other people's tax dollars. That's not exactly what many of us consider to be a patriotic sentiment, but I don't suppose that you care. After all, according to you I'm just some "ignorant little freak" [whom you've never met, of course].
>>>3) you blatantly promote your own site- hijacking our board for your own purposes<<<
I have addressed this elsewhere in this thread. It's my style to incorporate by reference external links, but I don't have that link handy. You have conveniently ignored it, and I'm not surprised. Finally as for:
>>>4) You named your site after another well known site so you could cash in on the name<<<
Actually, I didn't obtain the NASAWatch.INFO address previously because it wasn't available until I obtained it. Once it was, I did. If anyone else has a monopoly on the concept of a NASA watchdog, why is there no trademark? Need I repeat that question which you conveniently ignore? And could it be any more obvious at the website in question that mine has absolutely nothing to do with Keith's (and proudly so)?
We live in a democracy and there's no reason that a statist should be able to monopolize the generic concept of a NASA watchdog, especially when he (unlike me) seeks to profit from it. You know this though, but are merely interpreting things through your self-serving statist prism...as the following UNCALLED FOR invective from you shows:
>>>You are a disorganized hack-<<<<
Let's see YOUR website first. Well? Meanwhile, "hack"? Plenty of acquaintances in the Bush Administration would beg to differ on THAT one. I've been critical of the Administration for years although I'm starting to feel impressed by them again.
But regarding your characterization of me as being disorganized...Unlike you, I don't leech off of taxpayers and then sort of deny that that could have anything to do with personal views towards those whose philosophy is diametrically opposed. You're akin to a censor.
I'm too proud to be a tax leech, period. I know, it's a foreign concept but that's actually kind of my fault. Why? Because I've not yet made D.C. sufficiently friendly to the scientifically inclined. I do what I can when my volunteer time allows, and at considerable personal risk over the years. Jefferson would have wanted it that way.
No thanks to folks like you, though, who drain away others' time and resources in a jealous, childish attempt to resist change (for personal profit motives). Oh, by the way...have YOU been published in a national publication regarding the NSF and space? But I thought YOU were the NSF expert while I'm an "ignorant little freak".
>>> you have an agenda (not a very coherent one)<<<<
Let's see where there's incoherence. Anybody can make unsubstantiated claims like that, but do you have the intellectual horsepower to back them up? I'm STILL waiting.
>>> and you are a parasite using legit boards that get traffic<<<<<
Some of which comes from SpaceProjects.com, actually. But on a different note, who is a tax leech who tries to thwart pro-entrepreneurial reforms to call someone ELSE a parasite?
>>>to spam us about your website-<<<<
Notice how ideas that you fear are somehow "spam" whereas invitations to consult and comment on external urls that you like are somehow non-spam. No double-standard or anything.
>>> you have been asked to stop....<<<<
Your buddy Keith Cowing simply says "if you don't like it, don't read it." Enough folks read and comment on what I post to make my time here meaningful. You hate that and that's why you want me censored. Ah, but some self-contradictory explanation's probably escaping me at the moment. I'm sure you've got one; you're probably full of 'em. You probably think you do taxpayers a favor because...because you could make so much more money in the private sector or wherever it is that you contemplate when being self-congratulatory.
>>>You keep it up... YOU ARE NOT WANTED HERE If you want to participate, then do so, but stop using us as your free billboard!!!! <<<<
So if I put up a "StatismIsGrand.INFO" website and cite Karl Marx and Lenin and Mao, mixed with space socialism...I'd be a visionary. If I don't though, then my discussing ideas which you fear means I'm merely looking for billboards for my ANONYMOUSLY created & maintained, sponsorship-REJECTING websites. How puzzling (yet unsurprising, considering the source).
Your honor, we're through with the hostile witness.
Sincerely,
Before you whine and cry fowl, remember whom you called all sorts of names without being provoked. Even now I've maintained a rational tone in the face of your logic-evading discourse. Gosh, shame on me. I should be censored.
Let's hear more about your NSF projects, Mr. Holier than Us.

- Why censor reform proposals and their justifications? Sure, pro-entrepreneurial reforms could displace some, but they could empower many far more.
