John Young Jump Salute Analysis - Hoax

[scooter]

I would hope to see him return here, if not as a participant, then as a lurker/reader. It often seems that after a big dust up, the real discussions of the minutia get going...and that's where I learn alot.

Like to echo that. I also learn more every time a new one is opened up. Take the fattydash episode. Reading the conclusion there I have learned a bit more.

While I too congratulate Vincent... I have a small concern or two. As I just posted in a congratulatory note to his YT channel as a comment, I wonder what will he be doing with his many videos that still promote the hoax?

I politely offered to help him address that challenge (maybe he could create a new video, or set of them, to identify the flaws in the case for the denial) and then wished him well.

But that comment seems to have vanished within about a minute of it being posted. Perhaps it is just a cache or YT glitch, or perhaps he doesn't like how I responded to some of his claims, pre-recant...

Oh well. I was genuinely considering a donation to his space suit fund, but now...

hmmmm...

Hi! Regarding your comment, it must have been some kind of glitch. I do not promote censorship of comments on my channel page. I have them set to approval just to make sure it's not spam.
As for my previous videos, they have all been removed and comments promoting the hoax have been taken down wherever I have found them posted by me.

Thank you for considering a donation.

-Vincent.

I appreciate that, Vincent, and your new found enthusiasm for the cause is good, if a little over the top. I'm still considering the donation, but having seen this sort of thing... I'll be fence sitting for a while yet.

There's an old saying: "There's no greater zealot than a recent convert". Just something to keep in mind.
