You seem to be working yourself into quite a froth over the occasional postings of a single individual. Why is that? :-) Most of us are here to do independent research across the Internet, via books read and videos seen. More accurately via editorials, blogs, and undocumented assertions made via a plethora of internet sources: sources, I'd add, nearly all of which are of dubious credibility, if indeed credibility is to be gauged by availability of verification. And sources which, furthermore, are then being represented as if factual in nature. I'm doing independent research as well, Duray: I'm considering the content, quality, and character of the 'independent research' presented here, and then asking questions. Are you familiar with skepticism? You, on the other hand, are here to be a jerk. If having a good time while making people choose between: (a) hardening their analytical framework; (b) becoming so emotional as to occasionally appear completely unhooked, mentally; or (c) choosing not to reply (my personal favorite) ...is being a "jerk," I'll happily wear that mantle. I'm not sure you'll find many individuals outside of this thread, let alone outside of SI, who'd take that definition seriously, though. You never do one moment of independent investigation into the wealth of information available in huge quantity across the web. Haven't I? Would you like me to compile what I've learned on this thread alone about the various conspiracy theories surrounding the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001? Or are you lumping "investigation(s)" into an exclusive realm of queries which, by investigative sloth or force, result in conspiratorial explanations? No, your bullying "game" is to try to jerk off here and be a shrill shill. Yawn. "And your point is"? The only quality and in depth research you seem to do on this thread amounts to personal attacks on the valuable members of this thread. Kindly show me a personal attack that was made regarding information and not in response to a personal attack. For you, on the other hand, personal attacks are not only part and parcel to discussion, but the source of numerous suspensions in recent years. ***** But I don't begrudge you being exceedingly emotional or personally offending; not at all. What's important, and on topic here, is discussing the various theories alleging that Bush was "the [m]astermind being 9/11." Let's discuss them, and in so doing leave no element of those theories unscrutinized. e
