I rather enjoyed it.
I love watching you duke it out with the Hoaxland crowd. You gotta watch them. Marginally more intelligent thant the Planet Xer's, and seemingly more numerous than the Kaysing followers.
You were right to call the guys out. Playing with, altering, or otherwise fiddling with data to force it to "prove" a pre-conceived notion isn't science. It's an excuse to have a cool web site and sell books and videos.
We have enough youth. We need a fountain of smart. |

I'm thinking of starting a pool. When will Phil finally give him the royal order of the boot?
He'll make a silly statement. People will respond with very easy to understand refutations. His response is usually something like "but I still think it's a hoax". After he's made his initial silly statement, does he even read the responses?
A total troll and a maroon. |

=============
No royal boot (yet) but a lot of locked moon threads today. Duh...I guess the thought of even glancing at any of the answers availble on Phil's website is well beyond Mr. "Saturn V." |

| You may have noticed the board is down. Our mature friend decided to post a dozen or so rude threads. This has happened before, and the best thing to do is simply take the board down, wait a while, and put it back up. He'll probably not come back. |

I wondered what the heck had happened. What on earth did our new little troll post? I mean there's rude, then there's rude.
And where should I post to direct people's attention to the "Calendar/Events" page? The Planet X forum? Come on, we're still trying to get about another 30 registrations.
BTW, for the radio show the Thursday night before the conference, Girl 6 and I will be guests. Tune in everyone! |

Hi Phil,
Like @tomic said, maybe software can be added that diverts trolls off the board once they've been warned, and don't shape up. I've got "Outlook" email, and it has an option wherein spam and unwanted junk mail can be automatically deleted directly to the delete file so it never appears in the "in box." There should be something analogous to that for websites.
BTW - I got yet another copy of your book as a birthday present to my girlfriend's brother who heads up the psychiatric wing of a state hospital. He really liked it. The "moon illusion" was an interesting phenomenon to him too.

| Wow, it seems like we have a flurry of trolls at the BABB. And I think BOO is the next one that's going to get banned. And let's hope SaturnV/Mooner/asdf/Tommy/stevedahl doesn't come back with another pseudonym. |

| So I happened to find some free time recently, and signed up at the BABB. There's a lot of information to catch up on! I'll bet this is what newcomers here feel like. It's too bad that, in a short while, I will lose most of my free time, then I'll have to remove myself from that board. |

More trolls? Poor Phil.
Wish the woo woos would leave this guy alone. Took forever to talk the poor dude down out of the trees after that msnbc fiasco.
Lock and load on the trolls people! Defend our terrority!
(Sorry, feeling grumpy. Only had a few trolls show up tonight on paltalk, and johnno bounced them while I was playing with my food) |

Aww, Rift. I just found this post today and it leaves me pained.
I used to be on the Faculty at the College and thought we had a mild (and friendly) rapport going---I still have a copy of your post about the history of Leavenworth in my E-mail box. 
BTW, there is no connection between "Grapes" and me whatsoever; and I dont ever remember "going off on you about the race thing". Are u sure it was me?
