The Danger Of The Fetzer Assassination School

[Greg Burnham]

I had no idea "truther" was considered a derogatory term. On the surface, it certainly seems flattering- to be a "truther" sounds like being labeled as one who seeks the truth. I doubted the official story of 9/11 as soon as the first tower fell, but have never joined any organized efforts. Do all those who disbelieve the official fairy tale feel offended by the term "truther?"

Don,

This is not about "derogatory terms" nor is it about "how many feel offended" by a label. It is about something else. It is about the systemic and deliberate marginalization of those who expose the perfidy within their own government. It is about "reverse blowback" wherein those outside of the government operations that caused the negative repercussions are removed, by whatever means necessary, in order to silence them, thus preserving plausible deniability.

I don't let the enemy define me, but I really was not aware these terms were considered offensive by anyone.

This is not about "offensive" terms being applied to persons to insult them. It is much, much deeper than that. I am quite frankly, dismayed, at your rather sophomoric interpretation of these posts.

How would you then collectively define those who know Oswald didn't do it, or that 19 "terrorists" weren't responsible for the events of 9/11? Independent thinkers? I'm reminded of when I was a teenager, and certain kids would make sure you didn't say this because that was cool. I don't think either term is bad; yes, obviously the best researchers aren't "theorizing," and thus it's literally inaccurate to call them conspiracy theorists.

[emphasis mine]

Bingo.

I will be more careful about how I collectively describe people, but I think this is largely semantics.

It is NOT only or merely "semantics" -- and yes, I know you said "largely" but that is mostly a subterfuge as far as I can tell. Your point is NOT well taken, Don.
