Insecure?
Surely you jest!
Think about what you're suggesting, Hand.
Anyone who suggests the moon landings were a hoax and/or the earth is not a globe is
knowingly exposing themselves to ridicule and derision on the part of the general populace.
If a person doesn't know they will be subject to such condemnation, they're an idiot in the first place and all that follows can be discounted on that fact alone.
But a person who is cognizant of the censure yet speaks up on the basis of their research and analysis nonetheless?
That isn't insecure in the least; that is courage.
What I have done (in a minimalist manner) is highlight but a few of the issues which contradict the moon landing and/or the globe earth model.
Folks herein have offered counter information unrelated, or claimed refutation which, under closer scrutiny, fails to stand against the claims so stated.
For brevity's sake, I won't launch into those issues here, but suffice to say, the argument isn't one of broad generalizations (e.g., the government lies all the time, ergo NASA is a lie) or non sequitur, therefore the only argument against the claims has been necessarily reduced to ad hominem.
Knowing full well such results would arise, between a person secure in their self-evaluation or unsure of the same, which of these two types is more likely to raise these types of issues on a website populated by people who take immense pride in their cognitive abilities and critical thinking?
The insults, therefore, do not arise from a diminutive self-worth, but rather from a general impatience and, quite frankly, a laziness to engage someone whose Lilliputian intellect and defective curiosity have conspired to render them boring, simple.
