Therefore it is of little surprise that noticing a big, loitering 'X' shape, or other,in the sky appears strange and raises questions. They search the net, finding, or even looking for, Chemtrail discussions and wander in like a baby deer into a field full of Lions.
I find those who then swoop, professing to know with absolute certainty that this is caused by a mysterious and secret spraying operation by persons unknown for reasons unknown (yes, absolute certainty). That this has been going on for years, that this is proven merely by the fact the trail is there and no other physical evidence is needed, to be, at the very least, mischievously dishonest.
I hadn't heard of chemtrails when one day, going over 'the tops' to work I encountered such a breathtaking sight that I nearly crashed the car. It was if someone had been playing draughts in the sky. A vast area was evenly laid out like a huge chequerboard. Only an idiot would deny that this pattern hadn't been deliberately created. Somewhat more than a 'big loitering X shape' my friend.
I was in my late 50s at the time and had never seen such a thing. Nor was it at a time of typically heavy air traffic. So don't count me in your 'mischievously dishonest' generalisation thank you very much.

No links, no pictures, just a rant about ... chemtrails, i think? Or the fact that there aren't any? Or is it about forum dynamics?
I really don't know what you're on about, you should try structure your argument before presenting it.

There are two sides to this debate - each claims scientific evidence and there are of course those will lean automatically to one or the other depending on their mindset. I am not going to follow your example by being derogatory about anyone who thinks differently. To each his or her own eh?

do you feel better now? it seems this thread was designed to allow you to vent frustration rather than stimulate debate...... I will give anyone time who knows more than I (thats how we learn right?) but your posting runs with the theme of "its all BS....because I say so"

We had a complete shutdown of commercial jet traffic here while the Icelandic volcano was emitting large amounts of ash. The effect was remarkable....The sky was clear of man-made clouds.

Today I'm looking at clear blue skies in central Texas. I suppose there are no planes flying over head at all. Let me beat you to the predictable....the air is just as cold at 30,000 feet as it was yesterday and the day before.

It sounds as if you agree that commercial airline traffic is responsible for most of the persistent trails. That somewhat goes against the chemtrailer's general argument that says persistent trails are NOT the same thing as jet contrails, most of which are produced by commercial airliners -- i.e., if a trail persists, then it is NOT a condensation trail (or contrail).
