I was referring to every committed conspiracy theorist I've encountered.

There are people who have questions or doubts who are interested in learning more. I have no issue with those people. There are also those that have an agenda. They get off on imagined cloak and dagger scenarios and have the gall to frame it as a moral quest to reveal the truth for the victims. They don't want information, they want fuel for their fire.

It's my personal impression that the thread to which you refer panders to those of the latter ilk.


I'm an air traffic controller with 21 years of experience and more insight into ATC procedures than my security clearance allows me to tell you. Who the hell are you? I do have superior insight and that's a genuine statement.
