_Please_. Obviously we're not reaching each other at all, so can the
smugness. I'm a "convenient target." Yes, I certainly seem to be--but
because I've posted something pseudoscientific and irrational or because I'm
not a "member of the club"?
You may not be calling me names anymore, but you just as well might be.
"Sidetracked by nonsense." I suppose you're doing this for my own good?
You're quite the altruist, but I've had more than I can stand.
I think I have amply shown that there is a case to be made for possible
artificiality of certain formations on Mars--however small a case this may be
from a given viewpoint. _Any_ reasonable person, faced with an issue of such
explosive potential, would give the go-ahead. But to dismiss it
outright--along with a chance to get new images, virtually
effortlessly--smacks of a certain unbecoming arrogance.
I'm not going to bother psychoanalyzing you, other than to say I think you're
a pompous know-it-all, and a particularly mean one at that.
