I believe that’s the purpose of this thread - to mock some of the very good scenarios posted on that thread - probably too close to the truth. This thread should not be allowed to continue and the originator of it banned.

You know, After reading this comment of yours, I went back and read this vanity post and it has all the earmarks of a troll. I've seen threads like this get posted and the poster get zotted in a heartbeat.

It says nothing, links to nowhere, the posted of the thread is a noob.....

It's an improbable scenario and could easily be mocking FR. My trollometer went off.

I'm going out on a limb and say....

IBTZ

That is "It says nothing, links to nowhere, the poster of the thread is a noob....."

[presently no screen name]

And a hit and run poster, also.

IBTZ.

As I now understand it, the OP was a snipy spoof on another thread.

[upstanding]

You are incredibly dense.

I started this thread to mock another thread that...

• Was un-sourced
• Was posted as "Breaking News"
• Contained nothing but fanciful speculation

If you think that's acceptable for this forum, that's wonderful. I wasn't mocking FR at all; I was mocking conspiracy nuts who take something easily explainable and construct wild, complicated stories to turn it into something malevolent.

IMO, the nonsense thrown around here lately about the contrail was laughable, but harmless. But when forum participants started throwing around crap about their "military contacts," my trollometer and BS-meter goes off.

It's the Internet equivalent of the guy at a party who gives us the skinny from his "operator" friends.

The thread that I mocked was titled, "Just Spoke W/ Very Senior Ret. USAF Officer. Says USAF, NORAD, Etc. Have "No Clue" About Missile." C'mon. Putting that in "Breaking News?" The other thread deserved to be mocked. And my thread developed wonderfully; it contains as much reason and fact as that other thread. And slightly more nutters muttering about "THE TRUTH!"

Go get wound up over contrails. Be my guest.

BTW, do you KNOWERS-OF-THE-TRUTH types about the MISSILE THAT WAS LAUNCHED OVER THE HEARTLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN! THE CHICOMS ARE NOW RATTLING THEIR SWORDS OVER WICHITA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See the horrifying photograph here: http://www.accuweather.com/blogs/news/story/41418/not_a_missile_over_california_1.asp
