First, you're right, I think, about chemtrails specifically. If 20% of the threads in this forum were chemtrail-related, we'd have a problem. Every once in a while? One or two might form in the atmosphere.

HA! That's a joke there, son. Maybe you should be writin' these down.

However, creative speculation as to the motives behind ANY poster here are best left to the alert functions and the Malicious Intruder Removal Team! MIRT for short.

OK, even I creeped out writing that. All kidding aside, anyone who feels compelled to talk about WHY someone is posting here should do so through the alert system, not publicly. Good faith is not just to be assumed, it is to be acted upon.

The way I read the TOS, chemtrail and black helicopter stuff are not permitted at all. greyl Dec 2011 #11

"those discussions cannot stray too far into Crazyland" Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #13

Since "eg" means example, I take those to be examples of "too far into crazyland." greyl Dec 2011 #14

Bilderberg group and Trilateral Commission are real organizations covered by MSM, for god's sake! dixiegrrrrl Dec 2011 #15

I just quoted, I didn't make the rules. I edited out my own opinions. freshwest Dec 2011 #16

If they are discussed as what they really are, then they could be brought up all over DU, I'd think. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #17

"as what they really are" That's where I'm afraid it might get sticky. greyl Dec 2011 #18

When the REAL DU3 starts, this should be a VERY interesting group, then. dixiegrrrrl Dec 2011 #19

I had the same response when I read that Remember Me Dec 2011 #36

Chemtrails as "crazyland" --- ??? defendandprotect Dec 2011 #21

You say "Chemtrails are not speculation." I guess they don't belong in this group then. ;) nt greyl Dec 2011 #24

True -- chemtrails are acknowledged by Congress -- defendandprotect Dec 2011 #26

You know, I was thinking about this the other day as I looked out my window Remember Me Dec 2011 #35

Unfortunately, defendandprotect no longer has posting privileges here at DU. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #37

Oh, that sounds like a threat Remember Me Dec 2011 #38

It's not a threat. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #39

It should be. If its going to be in "offbeat" and be called "creative speculation".... napoleon_in_rags Dec 2011 #20

My reading of the TOS would allow aliens, but not alien abduction or chemtrails. nt greyl Dec 2011 #25

The TOS needs some updating -- defendandprotect Dec 2011 #28

If you feel that way, why did you agree to it? nt greyl Dec 2011 #29
