Reply #27: no, I'm not [View All]

That's bullshit. Sometimes I think this sort of thing is funny, but mostly I actually do resent it. I imagine, if our positions were reversed, you would feel the same way.

But I concede that I don't actually know why you are posting fantastic misinformation about my motives with respect to some "oct." I can only speculate. I try to return no more than nine-tenths-tit-for-tat, but I long ago wore out on letting people make stuff up about me ad lib.

I have no problem with people engaging in some speculation, as long as it is identified as such. Presumably you've noticed that a lot of the "questions" here aren't posed as such at all. If you interpret informed critique of e.g. no-plane theories as an "effort to quash the truth movement," maybe you should set aside your assumptions, check your reasoning, take a stroll in someone else's moccasins, and all-around reconsider.

Weirdest of all, this thread started with the observation that the supposed devotees of the "oct" were making no effort whatsoever to post to or intervene in a thread. How insidious! how devious! how -- umm, consistent with the alternative hypothesis that no one is trying to dissuade you from asking questions. :shrug:
