The below reply is something I posted in another conspiracy theory thread in 2009 and, I think, a year earlier as well. It still applies:

The government would never be able to release enough to satisfy your paranoia.

Seriously.

If it's not one thing, it will be another.

You can never be satisfied which is what makes you different than the thousands, tens of thousands or even millions of others who have looked at the same thing you have and come to a different conclusion, the one you will never accept.

Those who have seen what you have seen and arrived at a different opinion are dismissed as "sheeple."

That is always the trick with arguing with a conspiracy theorist who's bitten badly . . . . . arguing validates the argument, implying there is something to argue about. There's no point to it really. It is actually more interesting to examine what compels the conspiracy theorist.

By the way, there is no such thing as "the government."

That's a catch phrase that allows the common conspiracy theorist to get around the fact that he's actually talking about dozens, hundreds or even thousands of people making decisions about keeping quiet . . . . . and the more people involved in the process, the more unlikely a secret conspiracy becomes.

There is no one more gullible and less open to differing opinions than a conspiracy theorist . . . . and that, of course, is the irony.
