    I second this. Definitely offensive.

      It’s offensive for having a belief?

        Your practising of your belief makes the world a worse place, so… yes.

          What was their belief? Asking as their comment says it was removed.

        Lots of beliefs are offensive. For example, Sandy Hook deniers.

          That’s said to be offensive because it has to do with a tragedy. I would not see what’s “tragic” about whether there was a moon landing or not to consider it offensive.

        Your belief contradicts trivially-observable reality - you’re making falsifiable claims that have, in fact, been proven false, and 10 to 15 seconds of internet searching would suffice for anyone, including you, to see that.

        Easy example: the parabolic arc of the dust thrown up by the lander tires would have cost more than every penny the USA had at the time to fake.

          I thought the most ironclad proof was the retroreflectors we installed there.

          If they have been proven false, they have been proven false in a way that is questionable. I maintain this conclusion of mine and don’t know how it’s considered bothersome to simply have it without trying to change or influence anyone even if I’ve shared what I think a few times.
