You're denying the moon landing happened although the moon landing definitely, demonstrably happened. You're getting downvoted for peddling batshit.
I second this. Definitely offensive.
What was offensive? What did they say?

Removed but not lost.
Your belief contradicts trivially-observable reality - you're making falsifiable claims that have, in fact, been proven false, and 10 to 15 seconds of internet searching would suffice for anyone, including you, to see that.
Easy example: the parabolic arc of the dust thrown up by the lander tires would have cost more than every penny the USA had at the time to fake.
I thought the most ironclad proof was the retroreflectors we installed there.

Those could have just been dropped after the fact. We've had plenty of missions to the moon since then.
Unless they think those also didn't happen of course.
Lots of beliefs are offensive. For example, Sandy Hook deniers.
Your practising of your belief makes the world a worse place, so... yes.
What was their belief? Asking as their comment says it was removed.
That isn't true. Peddling is independent of the peddler's motivation/intent.

How do clowns relate to anything?
