It's not worth the death threats...

Nice try shill.

Creating a fake account and posting fake images to make people feel sorry for you.

If this jerk were a real threat, he would not have posted it for you to see. He would have done it.

Now he has won, because you believed he would have done something that he was really a coward to do. And all he had to do was nothing... other than... He just planted a seed and you allowed it to grow. Your paranoia did the rest.

By throwing in the towel, you just emboldened him to continue.

We all die.

ELENIN was a PSYOP and so are you.

If anything you should be afraid of how your own country is deteriorating and not some LONE-NUT BAR who lives in their parents basement.

Yesterday I learned that death threats were being made against me on Flickr by a new user who registered under the screen name "astromutmustdie."

Worse yet, the same person also left a threatening comment for my friend TBar1984 on his Flickr page (which has since been deleted).

Both TBar and I contacted Flickr about this, and though the threatening comment on TBar's photo has since been removed, the picture threatening me that the person uploaded is still there. Neither law enforcement nor Flickr seem particularly interested in doing anything about this, so after careful deliberation I've decided that enough is enough. As much as I have enjoyed being here, as much as I have enjoyed debunking astronomical nonsense, and as much as I have appreciated the friends I've found here, it's not worth the death threats, especially when people I call friends are getting hit by it too. Is this person probably all talk? Probably, but I'm not willing to bet my life on it.

I'm being threatened because some people don't want to hear the truth and feel threatened by it. I'm being threatened by someone who probably believes the government is hiding the truth, but ironically they are the ones trying to suppress the truth which was right in front of them all along. I'm not a "shill" and I'm not a "NASA agent," I'm just an amateur astronomer who speaks the truth, a fact known by those here who know me and those who have met me in person.

I will continue to support the GLP Observatory for as long as that support is desired. I'm not closing my account; I'll continue to participate in GLP Observatory-related threads and I'll gladly respond to any questions anyone has about anything via PM. I may also pop into voice chat now and then. In terms of actively debunking astronomical nonsense in threads though, I'm done.

Certain individuals of low character will probably celebrate this, and I have already been accused of faking the threats myself. Others will simply say I'm over-reacting and it's no big deal, but that's easy to say when you're not the one being threatened. What they fail to realize is that someone from here has silenced a voice for the truth. When there was a real cosmic threat, however remote, I talked about it (for instance, 2012 DA14's risk to satellites). On the other hand, when something wasn't a real threat, I said so even if it wasn't the popular thing to say.

You may not like the fact that Elenin was not a threat to earth, but that was the cold hard truth. You may not like the fact that there was no way 2005 YU55 was going to hit the earth or moon, but again, that was the cold hard truth. I'm sure much will be said in the coming year about comet C/2012 S1 ISON which isn't true, but this time I will not be here to help debunk it. I'm sure many others will though, and to them I say thanks and good luck.

Your a pretty smart guy and you really seem to know your stuff. You obviously have been doing this for a long time. "Astronomy" That being said I have seen you resort to calling out people. Telling them they are Liers and taking over peoples threads.I've seen you guys resort to pointing out spelling mistakes and gang up. Push Push Push. There are a few other people on this site that do the same thing. It seems that you all are starting to loose your credibility over your child like behavior somtimes.I'm sure its pretty frustrateing somtimes BUT I think all people no matter what they believe should be treated with respect and not be called names. Wether it be you, your freinds and the other parties involved. When you push people to hard they get mad and some can snap. I guess one snapped.People these days are under alot of stress. You can see it on alot of the threads.

Please take care.

I am seriously challenged when it comes to astronomy and have greatly appreciated your posts. You have been very generous to share your knowledge with all of us.

I am very sorry people feel the need to threaten because you do not buy into all the "death from space" theories.

Hugs to you.

hm. the only contact on that guy's flickr is tbar...

Something about this seems off... and why put it on blast KNOWING that could invite more haters to do the same thing.

And why on a flickr account?

Something about this doesn't settle with my instinct.

Look at poor Dr Astro with his fancy glp credibility being bothered on flickr.... like if it was facebook or something id buy it...,

Why would telling people I won't be debunking anymore invite more people to make death threats at me for being a debunker? I just gave them what they wanted. You're not making any sense.

I don't know, clearly whoever did this is psychotic, dangerous, and should be locked up.

I wasn't aware that psychos who make death threats must do so according to your instincts. I wouldn't have expected to see that on Flickr either, but I also don't assume that a psycho who's inclined to threaten someone would follow my expectations.
