> [@reef\_shark](#): > > Then I apologize to the mods. I didnt know about ‘zombie thread’ etiquette. However i really am debating something here. You shouldn’t be “debating something here” in About This Message Board, neither. I realize you didn’t start your thread here – you put it in Great Debates, where it was likewise not appropriate because you wanted … what? Looks like you wanted to argue on why your thread was closed. I note Tomndebb’s last post in the thread in question – I’m assuming made just before the thread was closed. > [@](#): > > At a certain point, when the overwhelming number of “questions” have long since been answered, I would think that someone actually seeking the truth would begin to challenge the Conspiracy Kooks rather than the people who recognize what actually happened.

> [@reef\_shark](#): > > Pearl Harbor and 9/11 were indeed both false flag ops. Its been proven. That claim is _objectively untrue,_ by the way. Here’s something to think about: you _had to know_ the mods would close your zombie thread, (I can cite the SDMB rules here just as you would cite some obscure government memo) but you posted it anyway. Clearly, therefore, you are part of the conspiracy yourself. Yet you’ve claimed you “didn’t know” about well-established policy. Why then is it hard for you to accept that the authorities at Pearl Harbor didn’t know about MUCH more fragmentary evidence hinting at Japanese plans? People make mistakes and assumptions _all the time_, even important and famous people. ---

I think this is going to get closed in a few minutes, but just to quote from **tomndebb** ’s last post in the original thread: > [@9/11 wreckage](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/9-11-wreckage/481567/441): > > We have enough of these fringe idea threads floating around without reviving the ones that are beyond the fringe. > > This one is closed.
