I never claimed anything of the sort. If that's how you see me "acting" it says more about you than it does me. "Most conspiracy theories I've read suggest some kind of cover up"? That's practically the very definition of conspiracy; it's like saying shit stinks. What I am saying is that propogating such conspiracies in the face of reality cheapens the human tragedy that happened on that day. Also: burden of proof - you has it.
