I'll plead guilty to the lesser charge of pushing my agenda, but vigorously deny the greater charge of pitiful cry for attention.

I'm really tired of the claims of importancre of life on Mars, or water on Mars, and I really resent being asked to pay for any of it. If the Mars Cultists want it, they can pay for it. If some ef***g blob is oozing from some rock on Mars, what does it ef***g matter?

Gary, Mark, Chris, Doug et al have been wassting my time for entirely too long with constant demands for information, then "misreading" or misunderstanding English, and the character assassinations.

My conclusion is attack politics work. At least they've worn me down. Despite all of this, I have never, never attaked manned Mars flight or Mars probes before.

(Thinking about it, I did give Blackwell a hard time. But I was provoked.)

That's changed. Don't be surprised and act like you've never seen this before. You'vve been seeing it all along for years, it's simply been the Mars Cultists doing it to me. If you want to mention pitiful cries for attention, look at their activities.

Done with it.
