Buell's "off" day (aka: oh yeah)

[Bill Chapman]

Gary’s belief was:  “there may have been a conspiracy but I can’t prove it nor can anybody else”.

Mack said he always believed there was a conspiracy but lost most of his original zeal when he read conspiracy books and found they left out inconvenient facts, or words to that effect. He still believed that Oswald was involved in a conspiracy, though. CTers continue to claim that he changed his mind about there being a conspiracy.

[Bill Chapman]

Where did I imply that he did?  There you go again, reading something in that wasn't there.
He probably read it from the same source the same as you did.

You didn't present it in such a way that would lead one to think that someone else other than your son originated the punch line.

This is Gary "Badgeman" Mack?

Who cares, he was a rabid conspiracy theorist at first*
And a somewhat less-crazed one later
That what I'm addressing

Some things I've mentioned about Mack's 'evolution' as a CT are noted here:

*He started out as a pretty vicious conspiracy theorist when he was with Channel 5,” said Aynesworth, who never bought into the conspiracy idea. “Gary made some pretty ridiculous claims.”

As it happens I thought it was his original quip. I wasn't aware that Billy Connolly had originated it if he did. (Maybe he heard it from my son  .

I do apologise if I confused you, Bill, but then that's not very hard to do.

Is this an exact quote from Gary Mack?

Blahblahblahfreakingblah.

Bottom line: You made it look like your son originated the joke. Stop dodging.
