It wouldn't work. No matter how hard someone kicked you it would never be hard enough to impart escape velocity from the moon. :P

What about Ralph Kramden? Was he lying all those years about how hard he could punch?

I think maybe people look at the title of a thread that gets them to open the page, and they are already formulating their response to what they perceive the thread is going to be before they ever read it because of preconceived bias. People do the same thing in face to face conversation, hearing the first few words of a comment they begin to mentally compose their response to the comment or question before they even fully understand what the content is. We have no respect for each other or alternative opinions. Many people, but by no means all people.

Unless you are actually in the other persons head, you don't know if what they do is deliberate or not.

Thank you, I wish more people here would come to realize that when evaluating actions and evidence. This thread is just kind of silly, but every time there's a big criminal case under discussion, it seems like half the forum suddenly thinks they have psychic powers, with all the definitive statements of motivation and actions being made by people who can't possibly know what they're talking about.

I'm sure they don't do it on purpose OP. A lot of people just aren't very good at comprehending and responding, they will miss the main point of your argument and say some irrelevant thing that they think matters. It's like, you could post a topic trying to figure out how long it took a train to get from point A to point B, and someone would come in talking about the temperature at point B and think it was useful to the conversation. I hate being misunderstood like that and can relate to your frustrations, as I'm sure many others can.

The temperature of the line can affect whether it gets iced up or not which may in turn delay the train or even result in its cancellation if the points get frozen. :P

I just made another post, again, people deliberately misinterpret my arguments, totally.

It really doesn't matter what I write in my description/post.
What really matters is the thread title. I thought an aspie forum was way better than that...
really.

In regard to your other thread it is not a case of deliberately misinterpreting your arguments... your arguments are just extremely poorly expressed or convoluted to be blunt (no offence intended).
