So Amalgamale, you are saying that I'm not an honest participant - a paid dissident?
I am paid by no-one, communicate with no-one on this forum outside of it and am here because I am enthusiastic about what is coming back from Mars and want to discuss and get people's ideas on what we're seeing and share in the excitement. Trouble is, to do that you have to wade through piles of BS. The only saving grace I suppose is that I had a look at one or two other forums and they seemed to be populated by even more cuckoos than this one and there are many people contributing here that are clearly smart, educated and fascinating to read their ideas - and I don't just mean the 'They're rocks' crowd - there is a good spectrum of opinion. Don't get me wrong, I do not think you uneducated or unintelligent, just misguided in your enthusiasm - if only you could discipline it. Just because you don't believe an argument and its 'a little old' doesn't make it wrong.
You haven't even the slightest conception of the subtlety and analytical capability of modern science or the rigour and care in presenting evidence and constructing a sound argument that is the norm for the NASA scientists.
