I'm going to put a word in your mouth, it's appreciate I don't think you meant to say you don't appropriate first responders. Lol

Well... you are acting crazy. We test, drill and have disaster drills...fake blood, helicopters, ambulances etc...all the time. A lot of fun.
And I get disgusted at those of you always...ALWAYS think somethings up or we must know something. Get a grip on reality. We train because you'd be the first one back here posting that we WERENT prepared.
Folks like you...make me want to quit. You don't appreciate our training, nor would I see YOU volunteering.

Actually, CTs need to be called out on things, no matter what kind of site they are at.
Anyone who can log on to a web site and use a keyboard and mouse can spout some kind of theory.
Those that use critical thinking on the other hand should call out things that we think are BS or completely off the wall.
ATS would not be the places it is if it were not for having people that do BOTH. If it only allowed people to spout theories and NO ONE questioned them, then this place would be no better than say GLP.
Can't take someone breaking down a conspiracy theory, or showing that it's wrong? Then you're in the wrong place.

However I can understand why people are jittery at the moment. Ebola in Africa spreading, anyone watched BBC 1970s programme Survivors? Brilliant series.
If you are looking for appreciation for your efforts, remember that this is a conspiracy discussion forum not a FEMA news outlet. I think its a little unrealistic and perhaps even a bit disingenuous to critique conspiracy theorists in a forum that is setup for this type of discussion.

Laugh all you want, but it's true: with out people to be critical of CT theories here on ATS, this place would not be any better than GLP, where you get banned for even posting a doubt of something in a post.
As per your post:

It's NOT disingenuous, it's NEEDED.
