#1 A quick Rantburg search:

Iran detains 80 after protest turns to riot

Workers arrested for gang raping 12-year-old boy

70 whorehouses closed in holy city

Baluchis on trial in Iran for white slavery

Iran boundary riot âkills eightâ

More than 200 killed, 350 injured in Iran train explosion.
This last seems to have been a load of explosives on its way to Afghanistan... or someplace.

#2 Is it just me or does anyone else find it intensely ironic that, after years of facilitating terrorist car and truck bombings, slipshod Iranian bureaucracy obliterated Omar Khyam's revered birthplace with what amounted to an Iranian train bomb of their own making?

#3 It wasn't "slipshod Iranian bureaucracy," Zipster, you knee jerk moron!
It was probably our Special Forces along with sympathetic Iranian recruits who took out a load of explosives headed to Taliban forces in Afghanistan, per Debka.
KEEP UP.

#4 Zenster, are you the same "Zenster" that used to post on the Straight Dope message board?

#5 Hilarious, PB!
Looks like they "love" him as much as we do--maybe more!

#6 Jen, go in for a rabies shot. You're foaming again. Getting the train to somehow derail in Neishabour was a little too fortuitous.

Parabellum, yes. Why do you ask?

#7 Here is the post refer to in the link. You have to scroll down to find it.

So why did they ban you Zenster? Inquiring minds want to know.

#8 Thank you for asking, Phil B. From Jen's infantile glee, it's rather obvious that Parabellum's link was an unflattering one.

After nearly, 10,000 posts, some of which may have helped to save a life here and there, I was accused of physically threatening a troll who openly bragged about intentionally obstructing emergency vehicle access lanes.

Numerous people made it very clear to the SDMB Moderators how extremely dubious it was to construe me as attempting such a thing. Their decision was even criticized by another message board's Administrator. One of the SDMB moderators even saw fit to try and insult me while plagiarizing over 1,000 words of my submitted text without any attribution or even bothering to change 0.01% of the wording.

Parabellum, in the interests of fairness (if that's what you're even interested in) are you going to bother linking to any of the various SDMB threads that praised my contributions there, or is this just a smear tactic on your part?

#9 PB, doesn't have to prove you're a troll; you do a pretty good job all on your lonesome.
And you would know a lot about "infantile."
Don't know how old you are in human years, but you clearly lack the emotional maturity needed to comment anywhere but DUH.com (Dimocrat Underwear) where knee-jerk emotionalism is taken for "researched opinion"....or perhaps "American Idol" has a fan forum.

#10 Jen, you display all the sophistication of a kindergartener. Feel free to go lay down by your dish.
