And btw, IF this was conspiracy, then we would assume the perpetrators with the power and authority to carry it out are some of the same perpetrators in charge of the investigation. Which means, we might expect the investigation and official story not to be so reliable. Therein lies the paradox of a government conspiracy

42 = 16. Almost two-thirds the known number
43 = 64. Almost 3 times the known number
44 = 256. Something like 10 times the known number

Originally posted by seanD View PostWell, this is what happens when you snip posts out of context.
Originally posted by seanD View PostYour initial argument was that we can't rely on MSM for the facts because they tend to sensationalize stories for profit.
Originally posted by seanD View PostMy argument is that this isn't necessarily so since they can't spin this in any sort of partisan favor. It works against both Clinton and Trump. But when Trump came out and publicly propagated a Clinton conspiracy, they really went on the defensive.
Originally posted by seanD View PostSo my belief is most of the things MSM is reporting about this case are pretty solid because they wouldn't want to report any unnecessary unconfirmed information (that we might view as sensational) that would further fuel it as a conspiracy.
Originally posted by seanD View PostBut like I said before, for the most, MSM is actually dissuading any belief in a conspiracy and seem to be satisfied with the belief it was just suicide, and anyone thinking differently is just a conspiracy nut.

Originally posted by Adrift View PostIt's not a "butchering" of a post. With the exception of MM, just about everyone else on Theologyweb is fine (and has been fine since it's inception) with replying to posts point by point. It's one of the benefits of discussion in an online written format. This is not a formal debate. In real life, I'd interject to make a point, or to rebut a misunderstanding. Here I can do so by using multiple quotes.

The only way around that, in this venue, would be for each person to keep their initial post short and succinct, limited to one major point.
I think that's why I poke my good friend Carpe so much about verbosity.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
