Dragging the hoax true believers like Kaysing and Sibrel to the moon
itself would do no good to shut them up. It might substantially reduce
the number of their followers, but won't do a thing to convince them
that
their religious belief in the hoax is wrong....

I wouldn't underestimate the value of taking them to the moon and
letting them step onto a nice, flat, stony lunar patch of real
estate--sans
space suits.

They would make a satisfying 'thump' when they fell.

Unless they are right you wouldn't hear it :-)

Jonathan,

That's why I specified stony ground. With the right acceleration, and
the right bit of anatomy downward, one should be able to feel the 'thump'
through one's boots. And why should one deprive one's self of that
satisfaction?
