Mike Bara once again uses the gay innuendo as an insult

        I'm no psychiatrist—as I think I've mentioned before—but I can't help wondering if there's something pathological about the way Mike Bara spews out suggestions that his critics are homosexual as though it's an insult. It's juvenile, no question about that, but is it a symptom of some kind of insecurity? And is it better or worse than Mike's other favorite insult, "douchebag"? What's so bad about a douchebag, anyway? As one recipient of this insult wrote:

Hi Mike... I'm lucky enough to have had a French gf at one time, and I can tell you that a douchebag isn't that bad. It's just a bag of water, often with some antiseptic added. Maybe you could find a more appropriate insult to use when logical argument fails you.

         Get to the point, expat. OK, OK, here we go. The most recent recipient of the douchy epithet, Neville Parchemin, forwarded this e-mail exchange to me. It's a beaut, showing the multi-faceted ignorance of Mike Bara in stark, screaming horror:

Faraday cages are made of copper, or aluminum if the lab is short of cash.

Please don't respond with your usual personal insult, or "I never said that." It's in print. p. 139, The Choice.

You wrote "It's rich that I should be accused of not understanding basic physics by an idiot who thinks..."..etc

As it happens I'm not a great fan of Dark Matter myself. You misunderstand as usual. However, I do know for a fact that you're completely wrong about:

annular eclipses
centrifugal force
the date of sputnik 1
the orbit of Explorer 1
the Brookings Report
the eccentricity of Mars' orbit
....and more

They are used all the time, especially in hospitals, etc., you fucking idiot.

Oh and a PS - The Faraday cages used in the experiments I discussed in my book were lead-lined, which is why I brought it up, you abject moron.

Say hello to Expat for me. Perhaps you guys can tag team on Barney Frank while you watch me on TV.

Regards... oh fuck you...

Thanks for the reply. You're confusing shielding from electromagnetic radiation, which requires a good conductor of electricity, with shielding from ionizing radiation, which requires a very dense element. It's possible that Project Stargate used both types, but that would still not make what you wrote correct.
