Ok, we’ve now reached “I know you are, but what am I?” Can I get a “I am rubber, you are glue?” ---

**EasyPhil** , are you the guy who did the Pit thread way back when about LeRoi Baracka or something, and some poem he wrote about how the Jews were behind 911 or something? As I recall you linked to a Holocaust denial site, and for some reason I didn’t see you hereabouts for a while. My apologies if you are actually a sane person. Regards, Shodan ---

Still trying to score points by misrepresenting what I wrote? That entire thread was about these four lines in a poem which constitute 1 stanza out of about 50 in the poem. > [@](#): > > Who knew the World Trade Center was gonna get bombed > Who told 4000 Israeli workers at the Twin Towers > To stay home that day > Why did Sharon stay away? Notice Baraka doesn’t say “Israeli Jews”. Why are you saying that? ---

> [@EasyPhil](#): > > Yeah, you had to be there to understand. I wasn’t actually in New York City, nor in Pennsylvania, nor in Arlington at the time; however, I did catch the live news coverage of the Twin Towers. I understood that quite well at the time. I just searched through a few of your posts–admittedly not all of them because I have a low tolerance for stupidity–and, in the posts I just saw, you’re pretty much weaseling into implying that “the official story is false”. Gee, what does that remind one of here? ---

> [@EasyPhil](#): > > Notice Baraka doesn’t say “Israeli Jews”. Why are you saying that? You’re right, it’s just Israelis. It’s also total bullshit, anti-Semitic, and was debunked before he wrote the poem. Why were you defending this crap?
