If you answered more of my questions (and others too) with sound scientific
responses I would certainly be a better listener and I imagine others would
too. I lost track long ago of how many of my questions you never answered.

You tend to insult people which triggers their anger. I hope that I have
demonstrated nothing more than frustration. I try to respond to the insults
wherever they come from with a little sarcasm wrapped in facts. When you
insult people and then fail to answer numerous intelligent questions over
time, it is like a silent alarm registering on every reader's computer.
Trust me, people notice exactly what you address and exactly what you fail
to address. Dodging the hard questions, whether by accident or design has a
cumulative negative effect on those "listening" to the conversation. I have
done it from time to time when I am bored, fed up, or I am just giving up,
but I don't do it every time someone asks a tough question I do not like.
As just one example, consider your responses to the issue of Apollo Service
Module quad doors, the fact that they were open, their respective size, and
their operational purpose (access). You suggested I did not know what I was
talking about even though I provided multiple references that were concise.
That whole line of discussion deserved your considered thought and a few
decent answers. The open Service Module quad doors remains a significant
unanswered issue that you need to address for your accident scenario to go
anywhere. It is but one of many unanswered questions.

There is always more to a story than what you see here today. Perhaps while
you are recuperating from your car accident you could focus some of your
energy on the backstory of Apollo One here, and on Sci.Space.Moderated. I
suspect if you do so, you will better understand why you received the
welcome you did when you first started posting on this newsgroup in early
June. Maybe that will aid you in your future posting here and elsewhere.
As for my character, yes I am one:-)
