There you go with your bumper sticker philosophy again. |

Smart people talk about ideas
Average people talk about events
Stupid people talk about other people |

Actually, I'm having a hard time figuring out how talking about "9-11 truth", from either end of the argument, counts as talking about ideas. As far as I can tell, the debate consists almost entirely of technical arguments about a series of events. But I don't think it has much, if anything to do with "ideas", in the elevated sense of the word used in that maxim. |

All the threads that should be merged nuts and threads that need to be merged nuts should stop spamming us with more and more useless threads discussing threads that could or should or need to be merged.
What we need is a designated forum where all these merger nuts can go and merge together on one single massive thread and discuss all the other separated threads that haunt them by their very existence. |

Yes, and you manage to plant yourself on the end of nearly every one these threads. |
What difference does that make. It doesn't change the fact that all of these threads are about the same subject - as you just admitted yourself. So, as you yourself admit, you're spamming the forum.

Good for you, and who cares.

And it's not immature to spam the forum with the same topic over and over again? You're a great one for looking for imaginary faults in other people, while overlooking your own real faults.

Busted. It's not nonsense, it's the published opinion of the man who took the picture. THE MAN WHO KNOWS MORE ABOUT THE PICTURE AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH IT WAS TAKEN than you or anybody else.

I have no idea what the "Secret Service Stand Down" is, nor do I give a rat's ass about it. YOU ARE ENGAGING IN DISINFORMATION TACTICS:

| Of all the redundant threads on this forum, how is it you choose these four? |
Because they are spam.

| What about all the Ron Paul threads? |
How is it that you only choose to raise this issue now? If you're so concerned about repetitious Ron Paul threads, why didn't YOU raise it before now?
I have mentioned the fact that all the 911 threads needed to be merged, before now.

| Conspiracy theory complaint threads? |
WHAT "conspiracy theory complaint" threads? I made one post about 911 threads that needed to be merged, and another about Nixon/Kennedy/god knows who assassination threads that needed to be merged. They are two different examples of spamming the forum.
| Quote: |
| Like I said to Ya-ta on another thread, you are being selective in your criticism, aren't you? |
You mean by selecting all of the spamming threads as ones that need to be merged? Well, logic dictates that if a poster is starting more than one thread on the same topic, persistently, then its spamming. And if all of the threads are on the same subject, then yes they need to be merged.
Yes, I'm being selective. I'm selecting the threads that need to be merged, you stupid git. |

Isn't the frequent starting of duplicate threads a violation of the TOS? I may be wrong, I'm just going by memory... |

Could we just merge conspiracy posters, then? |

Yes, you're being selective. You're selecting the threads you do not want to hear about.
Funny thing is, I actually agree that there should be one thread per subject. There are so many more that need to be merged but it is not possible so I don't cry about it. It is not that difficult to skip threads you do not want to hear about. You ought to try it sometime.
I do not suffer from a need to have the last word. And by the level to which you have descended in yours, you have shown your inability to engage in civil discourse. |

If I want to hear/read about them, the logical and convenient thing to do is to put all posts concerning the same topic under something called a "thread". That makes it easier for people to find/think about/and respond to the topic.

Then why don't you make a positive contribution to the forum for a change, and point out which threads you think need to be merged and why.

All conspiracy theorists, by their very nature, suffer from the need to have the last word. It doesn't matter how many millions of dollars or man-hours that go into refuting their theories and allegations, they always have the need at the end to say "the truth is out there". And they resent anybody who challenges what they think is their monopoly and right to have the last word.
And I can prove it, because you will not be able to resist responding to this post. |
