Dear Sent, Wouldn’t it be way easier, conspiracy-wise, for the secret cabal to just fund the terrorists instead of jumping through all these hoops to destroy the buildings? love, Tom ---

So if over in that other thread we were to refer to **UselessGit** as just **Useless** would that earn a mod smackdown? 😃 No I didn’t do it, and I’m not gonna, but the thought did cross my mind ---

I posted this link in the GD thread and felt I should do the same here. [A conspiracist used manipulated video footage to support his claims? The hell you say!](http://www.questionsquestions.net/WTC/hoax.html) ---

> [@Rick](#): > > So if over in that other thread we were to refer to UselessGit as just Useless would that earn a mod smackdown? I beat you too it…and yes, it earned me one. I have to admit that I agree with the Mod as well…I deserved the spanking. There was no reason to be rude when this thread exists. I was just a bit peeved by UG’s reply…but in rhetrospect whats he going to do? He has nothing just like the other two clowns. Asking him probing questions and requesting objective proofs or evidence has GOT to be uncomfortable (especially after 10 pages of similar requests)…especially when all you have is bullshit and delusion. c’est la vie…live and learn. I won’t (hopefully) cross that line again any time soon. At least it didn’t go down on my perminent record…but the strip search and fingerprinting was a bit rough… -XT ---

Hint for Tom: Using the whole tube probably will hurt unless you take top off and squeeze the contents out. ---

> [@Rick](#): > > So if over in that other thread we were to refer to **UselessGit** as just **Useless** would that earn a mod smackdown? 😃 You can always handle stuff like that with just enough tact to maybe not get a smack. For example: “Mr. Git (can I call you Useless?), do you actually have any evidence at all?” ---
