Speculation now illegal
Listen and learn first. Speak later. When your FIRST post in a thread is wild-eyed UFO-style conspiracy theory, then you have become a net negative to this site.
hardly... just about the entire 200 or so posts on the first thread regarding this incident was speculation... in fact someone there suggested we try to get to 1,000 posts about that which we know nothing about at that time :)
and you are not the only one speculating here... and there is no rule about how many posts you have to put before you share your speculation...
speculation is not illegal. But if you get stupid about it then people are going to call you on it. The nonsense that the Chinese shot it down with an electromagnetic weapon is utterly preposterous. anybody posting that should be embarrassed and have to pay a double contribution on the FR fundraiser.
