Multiple bannings of you, multiple reference links from me, multiple attempts at logical arguements by me only to be met with silly claims like "you're a cultist" from you and you see not fault in your actions. The only evidence of a cult around here is blind obedience to the cult of CAPS. You offer no logical explanation of why we should spend ten to 100 times as much to do what actual asteroid searchers claim can be done for 400 to 800 million. Attempts to logically explain the reasons for Mars have consistently been met by replies such as you are too ignorant to understand or silly cultist references by you. NO ONE is buying it. To win a technical arguement you have to argue logically with references and data to back you up not scream the loudest, hurl the worst insults, or use the most foreign phrases. I have been harsh with you in terms of ripping your illogical arguements to shreds and by providing an avalanche of data contradicting you. I regret every instance where you have provoked me into loosing my cool and think I have learned to avoid that much better.

The main reason you have such an issue with me is that from the getgo I refused to acknowledge you as an impact expert and provided loads of evidence you were not. In the end you do have a claim to expertise on historical impacts, but it is clear you have many who disagree with you even in that area. It is also clear you do not speak with expertise in a wide range of other issues associated with impacts do to the predominance of acknowledged experts that disagree with you and your inability to logically state a contradictory case. I've pricked your pride where it hurts and you want revenge. I used to enjoy picking that scab, but I don't anymore. I feel sorry for you that a lack of modesty causes you so much stress and sincerely do not want to help cause you to have another stroke. This is my last response to your cultist nonsense out of concern for your health and hope that the slight mellowing you've exhibited will allow you to take this one to heart.

The space page has a nice very long thread on Moon versus Mars without anyone getting angry or making personal attacks because no one is using your style of attack posting. I appreciate that you had enough sense not to sully the waters and started your usual nonsense on a seperate thread.

I have saved you Zubrin post by the way and will eventually get around to addressing it once this whole Augustine/Obama plan works it's way out. I feel you made a good effort with that post and deserve a lengthy response.

Regards,
Mark
