"Dakine is against the telescope.."
"I am?"
Among many of dakine's statements, sitting on the fence appears to include statements like this:

"If the KECK facility is costing investigators $50,000 a night and the TMT is an order of magnitude bigger, and one can expect it will cost astronomers that much more, then we're talking about what? 25 million plus a year in revenue? So making it sound like the TMT is some little ol' non-profit is a weak argument. And besides, if viewing time on the TMT is going to be so awesome they'll be able to charge whatever they want."
Something I called the "Big Lie".

Oddly enough, dakine never did respond to my post. There are several more examples of dakine's opposition to the TMT, but for some reason I'm having trouble finding anything where he supports it.
