Nuts. Why don't I go and badger someone for six months. Stalk them, send them endless messages, film them regardless of whether they are in a private place or a public, call them names in print, make scurrilous comments about them on radio....and then I'll turn on a camera just as I walk up to interview them. Whoah, they got mad! They must have had something to hide! And I didn't edit the video, not one smidgen. You get to see the entire interview.
Stupidity.

But in the end, the most damning thing is that you are not Buzz Aldrin. You are not him, you are not close to him, and you know nothing about him personally. Telling us how he should have reacted means nothing. And you aren't Buzz Aldrin, either! (or are you? ) Look - I never told you "how he should have reacted" as if I were the "God of All Human Behavior" or something. I'm simply saying that the reactions seem very unusual under the circumstances, in the opinion of an outside observer (me, specifically). In the end, of course, my opinion and your opinion are just that - personal opinions that are relevant only to ourselves (and maybe our families or friends). I seem to remember you saying that he should have had a "calm demeanor." Or am I wrong about that? It is my opinion that you are seeing things that aren't there.

Sure, in my opinion Aldrin and Bean should have remained calm after Sibrel started claiming it was a hoax. You claim otherwise. And neither of our opinions adds up to a hill of beans. But it makes for an amusing and interesting discussion, albeit one of little relevance or substance.

Well as long as we are all in agreement that how they reacted to Sibrel is of no consequence when debating whether or not Apollo was hoaxed.

But it makes for an amusing and interesting discussion, albeit one of little relevance or substance. Ugh you are spinning this argument in circles. I am not saying how he should have reacted. I made a specific argument that we cannot say how he should have reacted. That is my argument! You are somehow agreeing with me while still telling me that I'm wrong. Let's review the argument. You said that Aldrin reacted suspiciously, that he should have had a calm demeanor when confronted by Sibrel. I said that your opinion is worthless since we can never know what the event was truly like for Aldrin. You said that Aldrin is trained for high stress situations and therefore he should have kept his cool. I said that the man is indeed a human and like any human has a breaking point. You are seriously confusing me with the strange connections you are making. But if you are willing to label your argument as baseless and retract it then I am willing to retract mine as well.
