        Oh yeah, and that's an additional conspiracy you've piled on top of the other (n/m) (General Chat) - yarmyyarmy, Oct 7, 19:02:28
        
        what? are you trying to suggest that the media isn't owned by the same interests? (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Oct 7, 19:05:43
        
        No, the second conspiracy is your claim that the entire media is trying to keep it secret. (General Chat) - yarmyyarmy, Oct 7, 19:10:20

        All I said was that he makes lots of salient points which it's fair to say (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Oct 7, 23:02:51
        
        Worzel - put an end to this silliness now (General Chat) - The Judge, Oct 7, 19:20:25
