Stupid forum censor... it shouldn't censor a person's name like that... I'll remove that word from the filter.

Yeah, we wouldn't want to offend the heirs of Emily Thingyinson.

With all due respect, I disagree with you. There is no proof whatsoever that the moon landings happened.
With all due respect to you, that statement is flatly irrational. You cannot simply deny the existence of hundreds of kilograms of lunar samples, the direct testimony of 18 LM and CM astronauts, the personal experience of thousands of engineers and technicians, hundreds of tons of flight hardware, the tracking and recording of flights by many individuals and foreign countries, return signals from laser reflectors, years of telemetry from ALSEP pacakges, and hundreds of thousands of pages of engineering, analysis, and scientific documentation.
Belief in Apollo is a faith, nothing more and nothing less.
This statement is also irrational. You might as well say that belief in the war of 1812 is based on faith. We have all the evidence and reasoning to back it up. All you have is your conviction, which you claim is based upon examination of the evidence but has been repeatedly shown to be utterly at odds with the evidence.
How disappointing. Is such denial of reality - arguing by closing your eye and stopping up your ears - really the kind of legacy you wish to leave your children?
And, as Jay said, if there's no proof, what is it you're trying - and failing - to explain away?

With all due respect to you, that statement is flatly irrational... Irrationality is something that Margamatix appears to be extremely good at. As I mentioned in the thread, Saturn V rocket needed to be 266 times bigger, reply 29, "He just doesn't care that his various claims mean nothing at all, and he has no intention of defending them or actually getting to understand the many replies that have been written for him. "Come to think of it, he doesn't seem to know much about logic either. It makes one wonder what he teaches his kids about critical thinking. The poor sods will probably grow up very ignorant."

Or........he`s B.S. which is why there are no replies, ......(yeah,yeah,,,,,,just joking) I was wondering how long it would be before someone suggested that. Rocketdad drew your attention to my website so you know what I do for a living. Although I no longer drive to Russia, I am still away from home for several days (and sometimes several weeks) at a time, during which times I have no internet access, and am therefore unable to read or reply to threads on this or any other forum.When I am at home, I always look in to this forum: I read every post, and try to reply to as many as I can, but I have a wife and two young children who are more deserving of my time and attention. So I apologise if I do not reply to everyone who asks a question of me. If you want to pay me what I earn driving a truck, I will quite happily sit at my PC all week, chewing the fat with you. Until then, I will simply have to carry on as best I can. I am not here "trolling". I genuinely believe the whole thing was faked. This is a forum- a place for the exchange of differing opinions- and I am entitled to my opinion.

Well, I have noticed from the "banned users" thread elsewhere on this forum, that "troll" seems to mean "person who believes that Apollo is a hoax", which makes me wonder what kind of "forum" ApolloHoax.com actually is.

I certainly knew what you did or previously did for a living,given my reply #51in 41% say it`s a hoax........perhaps you didn`t read that reply either

No offence taken I`m sure you do read the replies and your word is good enough for me;but I confess I cannot understand how you can support a side of debate that is so lacking in expert testimony/analysis against one one which provides literally all the answers to your doubts. My point being that in order to argue effectively in this debate one needs to be well versed in the relevant fields,but, as soon as one is well versed enough to understand,all of the doubts subside.(I`m a layman,as you know,but don`t need it to be proved this way).

Oh please the banned users are just two people who kept aliasing themselves over again because he have members like earth orbit, turbonium and star who doubt the moon landings and were never banned, The banning list with reasons of banning, unknown - Rude behaviour, trolling. pierre1985 - Rude behaviour, trolling, alias of "unknown". wildbill - alias of "unknown". bush - alias of xoox/oxxo (banned in the old forum)
