I was working in NYC this past Monday, 9/11! Most people who weren't directly affected by deaths in the WTC were at work, not hanging around the site sporting conspiracy t-shirts.
Your theory about refining their trial balloons here was quite an epiphany. I could never figure out why recent and even old sign-up-date trolls post their silly notions even though they must know they are going to be torn to shreds. Makes sense in a twisted way but makes me even more reluctant to feed the trolls!
I didn't realize it at the time myself. I just thought they were stupid. Now it's pretty clear that they were looking for phrases that really resonated, and just look how the sickness has spread.
It's water under the bridge at this point, but I am still terribly wary of anyone who recommends "Scholars for 9/11 Truth" or "Loose Change" on the basis of the "interesting questions it addresses, not that I believe all of it of course", and then refuses to mention what it is that they find so very interesting. It makes me wonder what they're really after. Since none of them want to discuss the "interesting questions", it's not discussion or answers they want, is it?
I'm hardly a troll...in spite of the fact that my hair has a troll-like quality to it when I wake up first thing in the morning.
I know I should probably drop this and stop feeling so abused ..... but not for a second was I trying to prove any whacko conspiracy concerning 911. If I'm guilty of anything it would be arriving late to the dance.
Ok....so I bought one or two ideas from Loose Change. The fact that we didn't have fighters on the wingtips of the doomed airliners has always had my head itching .... and perhaps the fact that we cannot seem to find an unusually tall raghead carrying around a dialysis machine in the hills of nowheresville.
But I know human nature and I am sure those thoughts have rolled around most of your noggins too ... at some point.
Perhaps the thing I most object to in this thread is being lumped in with the subvertives simply because I had a few questions. Check the history of my posts here. I'm no troll. If anything I figured I'd get zotted over my endless rant against radical islam. To see me get put in the same bag as liberals ... blech ..... I had to take a long, screamingly hot shower after that one.
So ... all this to say ..... wel...I don't know what else to say
