Plait totally bullied Jarrah at the amazing meeting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ1LUmRWOF0 I came across this video this morning. Appears to be a summary of the Moonfaker Jarrah did while he was in Las Vegas last summer. The one thing Jarrah forgot to mention here was that Plait knew he would be intimidated. This was clearly childplay between the two.

Phil Plait would eat Jarrah up in a second; several people on this board have already done it, most notably Jay.
Jarrah is a lightweight loony and just not worth the time.

Maybe Jarrah realises he's lost the fight with Jay.
I've kind of noticed he's gotten over his obsession with Windley. He's now all about Plait and Astrobrant.

Is that Jarrah's perspective? Because I wouldn't expect that to be reliable.

Maybe Jarrah realises he's lost the fight with Jay. I think there was only one person who saw it as a fight, and it wasn't Jay. I've kind of noticed he's gotten over his obsession with Windley. He's now all about Plait and Astrobrant. He's past Astrobrant, and moved on to Phil Webb now. He's releasing an 8 hour rebuttal to a criticism that Phil made about Jarrah's 'NASA faked the moon rock claims.' After the handing down he received from Phil, it appears Jarrah is going for volume to swamp his critics out of the game, and then claim his victory. Apparently his new series is peer reviewed, but the source of review remains anonymous. He thinks that this review answers those that challenge him to have his work properly peer reviewed. The challenge remains. Jarrah should write up his work and submit it to independent referees in relevent fields, and those referees should be mutually agreed by those that sit on both sides of the fence. He knows that his little world will be torn apart if he dares take up that challenge, and simply does not have the bottle to do it. While he carries on with his facade to prop up his ego and need to 'pwn' people, he'll be nothing more than YouTube's version of a Victorian freak show.

Intellectual cowardice of the lowest order.

That's exactly what it amounts to. Cowardice. The guy is as yellow as banana skin. If he had any scruples or conviction for the 'twoof' that he so closely cherishes, then he'd take up the challenge. The only 'twoof' he's interested in is the 'twoof' that reflects his version of events. I guess he doesn't want to see several years work of 'research into the twoof' shattered against the rocks by people that know what they are talking about.

He can nail it with publication in a decent journal if he can prove one iota. I think hiding in youtube means that proof will never be tested by people qualified to do so, and he knows it.

Apparently he doesn't believe that quality is better than quantity. 8 hours of documentary sounds ludicrous to me. Each part is like 10 mins long so that would mean he's aiming for 48 individual videos to cover the broader topic. That would even stomp his radioactive anomoly series, which I thought took forever. I would be interested to know how many users will actually sit and watch through the whole series in one go. I'm sure there's more reason as to why Jarrah's waiting to post all the videos at once rather than perfection.

I don't even bother with any of his now. You know what you are going to get in advance; a lot of cherry picking, incomprehension, ignorance and just plain wrongness all packed up with a merry jingle.

Don't know about Judy Wood, more like review by Punch and Judy Again, I repeat the challenge to him, in case he has not got it by now. He is to write up his work, and submit it to independent reviewers that are agreed to by both parties. Either do that, or put up and shut up. It is now nothing more than intellectual cowardice.

Would it even be possible to find a reviewer that would be agreeable to JW and the the community of those knowledgeable about Apollo? JW would run from any reviewer with credentials in engineering, physics and space travel while the knowledgeable would accept no less.

He's only interested in his perception of the truth. Ergo, he has failed in his stated aim and cannot be taken seriously.
