In the context of this discussion, how is one single word I wrote in that post out of line? The guy fails to respond with links to verify his claims (it should be simple enough for him to do), he fails completely to engage in debate, sidesteps every single question, and then when some of us here don't just say, "Oh, okay ... if you say so we must be gullible fools for questioning a very weak and silly "official" news story (that he has, incidentally, IGNORED, in case you haven't been paying attention), he huffs off saying he's "given up" on all of us, insulted us by attacking our capacity for "logical though process," and then told us we were blocked --

-- and I called him out for cowardly behavior and probably lying -- after all, he hasn't been able to confirm a single one of his claims to me. NOT ONE.

Why aren't you telling HIM that he's out of line telling all of us that we "have suspended what little logical thought process you had"?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm????

Owen -- Then why don't you take a gander? Tell me how it is that out of a dozen people travelling together, not one of them could act as a translater for the passenger who couldn't speak English.

Tell me how it is that any self-respecting reporter would settle for AirTran and TSA stating that a passenger seated behind the offfender who caused the plane to return to the gate said she "believed" he was speaking Spanish (you mean she couldn't tell? THAT's a credible witness???) and how that reporter didn't follow up with "How would a passenger who only speaks Spanish pose a language-translator problem on a domestic flight bound for Texas?"

Mindbender stated that local radio and TV stations in Houston had interviewed "dozens" of people who had been on the flight. Do you mean to tell me that not a single one of those stations could be reached by him to give him the names, or a youtube, or archived audio, of those interviews, so he could prove the claim?

The guy is a coward and probably a liar. I call 'em as I see 'em, and this Flight 297 thing stinks like yesterday's diapers -- and so does MindBender. He didn't at first -- a few days ago, I was really thinking he'd have me eating crow when he proved his claims, and as I have eaten crow before served up by fellow FReepers, well ... that's life. But he turned out not only to be a phony, but an insulting coward in the bargain.

Why coudln't he answer those three items I've posted to you in this post, and what are YOUR answers for them?
