Hahaha, I can just picture you projecting frustrated spittle at your CRT monitor. Well, I guess I’ll turn in all my awards and cancel all my contracts because “Sudetenland” doesn’t think highly of my technical skills! Just don’t tell NASA, please.

It’s tough to teach someone who misrepresents and obfuscates. For instance, if you would have read my first post to you, I clearly stated that the debate wasn’t whether aliens existed, but whether they have visited earth. I also stated merely that Hawking was sympathetic to that possibility, which he is. I stand by that, of course. Many members of the National Academies are sympathetic to that possibility.

It’s tough to teach someone like that, but it’s impossible to reason with a douchebag who throws out unnecessary and unprovoked insults. So congratulations, you have made a very short list of douchebags on FR that I will never post to again.

Show me the quote. Show me where he made that assertion or even inference.

Obviously you can't, or you would have done so by now. Obviously you are the one who "misrepresents and obfuscates (you do know what that means, don't you?)."

Sorry to disappoint, but I don't get irate at fools who can't support their allegations. I learned long ago not to allow little minds to occupy space in my head.

As for working at NASA, the way you reason, you must be part of the AGW team. But then what else should I expect from someone who lives off of tax-dollars rather than working in a real-private sector-job?

Now run along and tighten up your little tin-hat and go talk to your alien friends.

"Douchebag . . ." nice. You can always count on the loser of a debate to resort to the gutter.
