Jesus, when Terral wrote on the first page of this thread, MONTHS AGO, that his ENTIRE theory rested on his assertion that Elenin was a "brown dwarf" he included a "definition" of a brown dwarf AND IT WAS WRONG.

It wasn't a matter of opinion. It was a matter of "his side of the argument". HE WAS WRONG. He wrote what a "brown dwarf" was and IT WAS WRONG.

It's what his entire scheme rested on. It was the fulcrum of his entire idealogy.

If you present an idea based ENTIRELY on a specific object- but your own definition of said object is categorically WRONG it says EVERYTHING about the (lack of) quality of your idea.

So no, I don't feel A DAMN BIT BAD EITHER for any of his "followers". He was advocating idiocy from the beginning. And it's not that he was a little wrong. He was WAY wrong.

Did any of his "followers" bother to fact-check him? Obviously not. If they had...then we wouldn't be talking about anyone having to "sue" anyone else because they gave money to support this Mickey Mouse shit.

And as for Terral himself....I don't know. I can't say I necessarily wish "ill" on anyone....but he fear-mongered pretty severely. He spread bullshit minsinformation and made a lot of people scared....over nothing.

So if he's in a bad way...Whatever. I'll just plead indifference.
