why are people so sensitive to suggestions of a conspiracy/coverup?  it isn't tantamount to claiming nobody legitimately suffered as a result.

Some people have a low tolerance for craziness and furthermore, a lot of conspiracy theories are made up to get attention and exploit tragedy in the process.

nobody exploits the event with greater potency than those who develop the official narrative.

I've never said a word about the merits of the official narrative, nor any of the alternative narratives.  I have only commented on the touching-a-nerve reaction that the development of alternative narratives draws out of people.

The fact you define such conspiracies as 'alternative narratives' instead of, rightly, 'crazy-ass sh#t from internet trolls' speaks volumes.

'conspiracy' is the loaded language, 'alternative narrative' is the neutral language, only appears otherwise due to the dominance of the loaded language.

It isn't fiction, it's real life, there is no narrative. So far, we have no clue as to motive or reasoning and nothing is official yet.

nothing is more official and final than bodily injury.  no Senate commission is more final than death, mobilization, shutdown, and Friday's lost wages.

as a comment on this fiction/real life dichotomy, the fact that we have 98% of us only experienced this event through smartphone and computer and tv screens, renders that dichotomy an anarchronism, a relic of past time.  everything now is a mix of the fake and the real.

again, I have never tried to comment on any of these issues.  bark up another tree, if you wish.

Read the transcript of Act 1 for an account of how a conspiracy theory actually ended up seriously complicating the life of a survivor of the 7/7 subway bombing in London after conspiracy theorists started accusing her of being a liar who was never on the train.

well, alright, at least you're trying, but even assuming that this here proves everything you want it to prove and nothing you don't, it's but one data point, and I hope we can agree that official narratives have 'unjustly complicated' the lives of innocents on plenty of occasions, even if just by accident, makes no difference.


and, also, few people have heard of this, so it doesn't answer my question "why are people so sensitive...?"  99.99% are not so sensitive precisely because of this London woman.

Have you heard about the guy who's received harassment and death threats from Sandy Hook truthers for sheltering some kids at his home who fled the school?

how many American Muslims have suffered due to the official 9/11 narrative?  at the hands of the organs of state power, no less.  put it all on a scale and the dabblers who upload YouTube videos are of no consequence.
