Stephen fry

[Kal'Narred]

I’m not sure if our American cousins know who he is, but for those who don’t Stephen Fry is an English comedian, actor, director, writer etc.

For years I have deeply respected the man and enjoyed his work (and on two occasions had the pleasure of working with him). He is phenomenally intelligent, you could ask him a question on any subject (except
popular music) and he’d have a detailed and highly amusing answer for you. Also
he’s a lover of silliness and is only too happy to have a nonsense conversation.

However my deep respect of the man has been shaken. On a recent episode of his programme QI, the moon landing was discussed and in particular the conspiracy theory that it was all staged. The opinion of the
show was that it the Apollo mission did indeed land on the moon. This in its
self didn’t bother me, I sit on the fence on the subject, and even if I didn’t
I wouldn’t deny anyone the right to believe whatever they wished.

Something else bothered me, the fact that Stephen referred to those who didn’t accept the NASA story as “Conspiracy Arses”, and he did so with such contempt.

I began to wonder if he just meant the moon landing disbelievers or did he also mean 911 truthers, the NWO truthers, the Disclosure Project or anybody who has the courage to stand up, face ridicule and say “look
the official story just doesn’t add up”.

Am I overreacting here? It just seams like one of my heroes has let me down.

Opinions please? If I am overreacting then please tell me, I’m a big lad and I can take it.

Yeh I agree with you all. Thanks Bishop for posting the video. Maybe it shows that I need to be a more tolerant person. And I suppose that when you hold someone in such high regard they are bound to disappoint, we are all only human and we all find it difficult to reach the unrealistic expectations of others.
Stephen Fry remains one of my favourite human beings; long may he rein with his huge brain and witty repertoire

i think he is referring to moon landing disbelievers only. and i would agree with him.

Hi Kal'Narred, I'm a fan of Stephen Fry as well and it is disappointing to hear that from from him, but it doesn't surprise me. I tend to not have heroes or put people on a pedestal unless I really deeply know (about) them.
I don't think you're overreacting. It's just something that your're passionate about it. just don't let this get you down or angry; it's not worth it.
