This is written in my capacity as a member and does not reflect the view of the Forum or the Mods.
Imagine this...
We (all of the members) are locked in a room. We cannot speak, our only communication is the written word. We have been given a question to discuss
Is there/was there life on other worlds in our Solar system ?
Each member answers as best they can, they add images, they quote reports, they quote their own interpretations of that data, they quote religions, writers, philosophers...anyone and anything they can to make their point.
Every other member then has the chance to answer on their papers and give their interpretations and thoughts and criticisms.
Sadly, there is one member who judges and criticises each paper purely on the basis of the spelling mistakes in it.
