And he's been permanently banned after bidding us goodbye.

That's always been one of my issues: they can build and launch a six-million-pound rocket, they can keep a secret for forty years, but they can't fake a blast crater? CUT! We need stars in this scene, moron! STARS! And what's that freakin' rock doin' with a freakin' letter C on it? Oh, for cryin' out loud, we used exactly the same backdrop in the last scene! Oh, and would someone please tell me where the goldarned reseau marks are in this rushes? Put some in, right now, pronto, immediatement! What's with the incriminating message some clown wrote on just the white stripes on the U.S. flag? Blank it out! No, don't worry about the gaps in the reseau marks. Nobody will ever notice. OK, OK, OK, enough with the freakin' hurricane in here! The freakin' flag's flappin' around like crazy! Last time I heard, this was meant to be a closed set: so close the Goddamned door, Einstein! Listen up, crew: we have millions of dollars to fake this thing, and nobody - but nobody - must ever suspect the truth! What's that, TJ? Film Buzz walking on the moon in the Vomit Comet? Do you have the slightest idea what that could cost? No, just film him on the set and slow it down a bit. As an Illuminati Regional Vice-Deputy Assistant Co-Ordinator, I want the director of the Apollo footage shot - RIGHT NOW! How We Faked The Moon Landings

If the landings were faked by Nasa, placing a blast crater under the LM would be the most obvious thing to do in order to 'fool' the unwitting public. That's always been one of my issues: they can build and launch a six-million-pound rocket, they can keep a secret for forty years, but they can't fake a blast crater?

With the photos from low lunar orbit shownig the landing sites, as well as the very well-done MythBuster's Episode, isn't it "Case Closed"? You've got to think as deviously as the conspiracists: so far as they're concerned, the LRO photos could have been easily doctored with Photoshop and are therefore no evidence at all in favor of the landings.

I emailed one of the lunar geologists quoted in articles about the findings, Larry Taylor, about this very issue and got the following response (I have permission from him to post this):

1/6 gravity sounds to me like a reason the ascent should be fast, not slow. I guess one could come streaking in on the descent at a high rate of speed, firing the engine at full power, bringing the craft to a stop just as it touches down. But it seems like it would take an awful lot of practice to get that maneuver right, and there wouldn't be much margin for error ;D Those of us of a certain age might remember the lunar landing game written in BASIC that ran on computers in the mid-70's, including the one my high school had. It divided the descent into ten-second intervals and asked how much fuel you wanted to burn in any given ten seconds. Since the only limit enforced was the total amount of fuel onboard, I spent one afternoon seeing if I could get it to land softly by burning almost all of the fuel in the final ten seconds. I found I could, but it took forty or fifty crashes before I came up with a value that worked.

... but IDW's reality is a bit different from ours. Do you think IDW really believes his own nonsense? From my experience with him few years ago, his countless lies where so blatant that I had a hard time believing he was really trying to fool anybody. I honestly don't know. I wonder sometimes if he's clinically manic-depressive, because he can be halfway reasonable for a while, then he'll go off the deep end by accusing us of being NASA shills and declaring victory. But, yes, sometimes he sounds so delusional it's hard to think that he believes what he's saying.

I believe he asked to be banned in hopes that his posts would go away, making it look like we censored him. Then he could claim to be an HB martyr.Probably. At other boards when a poster is banned his posts are removed. Not only does this support an accusation of censorship, but it allows the conspiracist to tell others anything he wants about what he "really" said. The BAUT moderators tell me that some posters want their posts to be removed because they are quite clearly backed into a corner and don't want the embarrassment recorded for posterity. Sorry to revive an old thread, but I thought it worthwhile to mention that he's now claiming on GLP that we've edited his BAUT threads to remove the personal attacks on our part and "any post that represented a clear victory" on his part: www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message359478/pg200Of course, there were never any of either, but IDW's reality is a bit different from ours.

OK, Fred, I am going to see what happens. It would be way easy for them to just look up the IP Address of whomever first signed up and compare it with existing members. Let's see what happens. There is a down-side to fame. The bigger you get the more crazies you have to deal with. I would like to get an email from them saying they know who did it, or an apology or something. As far as being paranoid. You have to admit, this is pretty freaky and can you blame me? It would be a disservice to just blow off this guy. And I mean a disservice to the perpetrator especially. Also, as far as being a great website, it would be very easy for them to make sure noone abuses their service as someone here has. If it was a joke, let me say this. Comedians pretend to be other people they want to make fun of all the time. Assuming their identity and expecting people will really think they are these people is going too far. I actually did send an email to the only address I could find at the time, but it was the wrong one. This has now been fixed, and Bill and I have been communicating. For some reason email confirmation got disabled on BAUT. It is now enabled again, which should keep this from happening in future. The IP address used at registration for BT_Washington matches that of BAUT member "Planet X Man", who is another jokester who only posted once and who used an obviously fake email address, so there's no way of tracking him down. But again, that loophole has been closed.
