It’s more frustration than anger. Yes people are entitled to an opinion. I am also entitled to make fun of them. But it’s only when you turn your opinion into a hypothesis, design and execute an experiment that does or doesn’t support it that you should expect anyone to give a sh!t about it.
I don’t think anyone should be silenced. Especially the people making fun of idiots, and unfortunately they’re the ones who are told to be quiet these days in case the idiot’s feelings are hurt. Likewise if we silence the idiots we won’t have anyone to laugh at. It’s an ecosystem!

Anger or irritation is your personal response and you can't blame others.
So the drift so far is we have covered the photos and the Michelin Man fallacy but the interesting issue would now seem the right to hold an opinion.
Opinion is belief.
Belief is always out of bounds...It my belief the world is 5000 years old...well that's your belief no comment.
End of story.
Opinion open for argument.
So it seems this way.
Some of you seem to feel opinion should be restricted to an expert.
Do I have to have a degree in Theology to reject one religion over another.
And if you stand by such an approach it seems that those who may be wrong must shut up.
So who do you want silenced, tarot card readers, astrologers, those damn communists, the liberals or the labour folk, how about Catholic, Jew, Muslim or Hindu.
Does anyone get it?
OK Next worry.
How did they keep warm or cold?
And how was the film carried there and back?
Could it be exposed via radiation?
When I get back I intend to look at blindmans video.
I have not looked at anything yet all the way thru but I will take the time and to change position I intend to be critical of the video, point out why I think they could be wrong ...if nothing else to Demonstrate my general cynicism.
Also anyone able to comment on how they kept warm or cool, I have often wondered about that mainly from the energy I expect it would use.
Keel calm folks and thanks again for you all participating.
