"If you don't want to be attacked, don't berate people with unsupported accusations"
Excuse me, Mars-boy, let's all try to pretend that these attacks on me did not happen, the stalking, the viciousness.

"and bad science."
In your very distorted opinion.

Speaking of bad science, the Mars "science" that goes on fills that to a T:
Let's alll try to ignore radiation loads,
Let's talk about water from millions of years ago as though it is there now,
Let's simply ignore the impact craters.

"Very few people will respond to multiple unjustified attacks without attacking back."
That's true, but here's the rub for me: I don't think that sending men to Mars someday will be a bad thing.
It's simply that Zubrin's engineering is unworkable, and planetary defense has a much higher value right now.

"Your history of animosity with Mars advocates has far more to do with that than your interest in the Moon.
The Artemis Society and Mars Society have collaberated on multiple occasions."

I didn't start the attacks, they started with Cowing, and you've been particularly vicious, as has Mr Vancil.
My opinion has consistently been that the way to Mars runs through the Moon, which is something none of you wanted
to hear. Ever.

"This particular Mars advocate has spoken against banning you on numerous occasions despite your record of disagreeable behavior because you occasionally spark debates of substance or a search for deaper understanding even when you are dead wrong."

If you didn't have me to attack, what would you do, Mark? Does it give you a feeling of importance?
I find you to be so fixated on Mars that no other space goal matters, including planetary defense.

And as far as biased moderation goes, I loved it when your insults stand, but my replies are removed.

Have you ever considered that a resource bound country may lead in developing space resources?
My current estimate is that China will lead to the Moon to do CAPS, and assume a leading internationrole in space.

Ready to learn Chinese, Mark?
