The layers they postulate were very clearly visible to the naked eye.

Thanks, but I am done. You're too stupid. Too bad you will forget about that by the time that pseudoscientific snake oil company collapses.

Whoa—your comments in this thread have been way over the line at which we ban accounts. Worse, you've done it in other threads recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39577225, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39573437.

This is way over the line at which we ban accounts. I'm not going to ban you right now because you've been here a long time and it doesn't look like your account has a long history of being abusive. But please don't post like this to HN again.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules, we'd appreciate it.

Sorry, you are right. I've been replying in kind instead of just flagging.
