No. And I have no idea where you saw that in what I wrote. Please pull the quote where I'm saying "no one else should either". It's not how I think.
At no time have I said you can't believe what you want to... FreeRepublic is the court of public opinion - and I've expressed mine - and am happy when you express yours.
I followed the space program since I was a kid. I have come to my own conclusions - you've come to yours.
Your comments are those of a bully - and the stuff about "dont expect the rest of us to suck up to your opinions " is heavy handed and untrue.
Again, if I'm wrong - please pull the quote where I say everyone has to agree with me. I think it's much more likely that you're the kind of person who gets angry when people don't agree with you.
Your comment about "if you want an argument" when I was just stating my belief is nuts. And the threat of how I may be "asked to leave" is odd. Are you a moderator or just someone who pretending to be one?
Clearly we have a difference of opinion and let's just let it go.
Otherwise I will have to just stand here tapping my foot and quietly practice my bagpipe. (Can't post my graphic of that because I can't get to it from work.)
On a lighter note, am getting lots of chuckles over this:

However, if we do get photos, will the conspiracy nuts then claim they are just Photoshop?
It never ends...
One of the things the lunar astronauts did while they were on the surface of the moon, was to deploy a retro-reflector.
It’s a high-tech version of a reflecting taillight lens. Got those little triangle shapes inside that make it a “corner reflector”.
It’s still up there, still reflecting Earthlight back to us.
Many high-school and junior college astronomy clubs have arranged to send a pulsed laser beam to the lunar retro-reflector and have it come back to them after three seconds, much attenuated and detectable only by sensitive equipment. So many photons get lost along the way, you know.
It’s a reliable, and repeatable experiment. You can do it yourself without a very sizable investment.
Now, if this does not constitute reliable evidence for you that men walked on the moon, it should at least demonstrate that we were able to soft-land “something” on the moon.
And if we could land something, what would prevent us from sending a can full of men?
Yes, it was audacious. Perhaps even more audacious than your world view will permit you to see. But we had men back then who were willing to dare.
And willing to try, and do, and die if need be.
But they were daring men. Perhaps you have met too few.
BWA-HA-HA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
