I suspended him for 48 hrs, and I sent him an email saying why.
RandFan @ Apr 8 2006, 01:23 PM
Would you please re-send the email message? To date I have not received it. To date I do not know why any action was taken against me.
1.) I never used fowl language.
2.) I never personally attacked anyone (though others did attack me).
3.) I never engaged in fallacy.
4.) When asked to watch a video or read a link I did.
5.) I am an honest and sincere person. Disagreement is not grounds to call someone a liar. Gut instinct is not a logically valid reason to make unwarranted assumptions.
6.) Reasonable people can disagree.
7.) Unreasonable people ban others who dissent (so much for complaints of the US government wishing to silence people).
So, I wont post a picture of pinochio as an aspersion against you (as you or another mod did to me) simply because I never recieved said email. It's plausible that it got lost in the system or that you used the wrong email address.
I'm sure that email is handy in your "sent" folder. Please resend, oh, better yet, copy and paste it in this thread. I think that would be appropriate in light of the fact that what I believe was an arbitrary and capricious act is the source of discussion on another forum. Let's be above board.
FM258 @ Apr 8 2006, 03:43 PM
Resend it to you??? When you get your acct suspended, that doesnt mean you open another account. http://67.15.129.139/6014/152/emo/thumbdown.gif
Above board?? Please dont insult my intelligence. You are here as a disruption and nothing more, you have shown that you have no interest in getting to the truth, just here to aggravate and inflame serious debate. You and others like you will be pulled from this board like weeds.
And dont tell me what I should or shouldnt do. What the hell are you talking about? I asked if you would resend the email. I never received it. What the hell does that have to do with opening another account? You either sent me this email or you didn't. If you did then why won't you post it or resend it. I didn't tell you what to do I asked.

I wont even waste my time debating anyone who thinks Oswald scored that headshot. If you want to claim victory over me, go ahead. The autopsy pictures were faked to make the exit wound look like an entry wound. There was a long series on A&E about this a few years ago.

I Just Got Banned From Letsroll Forum! (http://s15.invisionfree.com/Loose_Change_Forum/index.php?showtopic=1889)
Apparently if you join Commander Phil's letsroll forum, you are NOT ALLOWED to even mention of the "blasphamous" "no-plane" theory anymore. And don't even think about questioning his beloved "a drone 767, with a pod underneath, fired a missile into the South Tower a fraction of a second before hitting it" theory or you'll be BANNED!!!
Apparently you have to believe 100% with him http://67.15.129.139/6014/152/emo/worthy.gif ...or else. http://67.15.129.139/6014/152/emo/nono.gif
This is too bad. I heard rumors about him doing things like this. Censoring people who don't share your beliefs on 9/11 is bad for the truth movement.
Phil, don't alienate people who don't agree 100% with you!!! What if you are wrong about your "pod/missile" theory
It seems that banning other people is wrong unless Loose Change is doing it. Read the responses. Banning is proof of something...ah what is it proof of when you folks do it?

Hey, here's an idea for a head-game with them! Register as a new name (yeah, I know - sock-puppetting stinks, but in this case who gives a toss), and post stuff that is totally pro their ideas but even MORE wacko and off the planet than they are! Bring in all the far out conspiracy theories you can recall - Waco, Heaven's Gate, the Illuminati, Von Daniken, full-on fundie Christianity, etc, etc. See if they will have the sphericals to ban absolute nutters, or if the only inclusive criteria is to agree with their POV. A game the whole family can play! :D ;)

The other tower was downed by a hijacked UFO. It's plasma-fueled anti-inertia system has enough energy to cut through ANYTHING. If they didn't have anti-inertia systems, the impact alone would have knocked the tower over instead of cumpling into it's own basement. Them hijackers are plenty smart. Getting themselves obducted just to take over the ship...Of course the autopsies were faked to hide the implants. And the UFO's cloaking was set to 747 to make them look like aircraft...

Exactly. And Alek got a 2-day suspension for his tirade, not a ban. I never used foul language, beyond calling Steven Jones a scummy fraud.

The problem with doing this is that they're liekly to believe all that crap. I recall Robert Anton Wilson stating (I think in Cosmic Trigger Vol. 2) that when he and Robert Shea wrote "The Illuminatus! Triliogy" they dropped acid, smoked pot and tried to come up with the most unbelievable crap that they could.
And then people wrote them letters asking them how they "knew all the secret information" and aren't they "afraid that the Seekret Masters" would get to them. They also got accused of BEING the Seekret Masters.
When the basis of your theory is the absence of information being a confirming datum, you will be led to strange areas.

So, looking at the video, the description says that the footage also features black helicopters and trains. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the term "black" mean "unmarked"? Is a black train supposed to have "USAF" written on its side? And helicoptor was so far off, I don't know how they could tell if it was unmarked.
As for the camp itself, it looked all the world like a factory on a Sunday. In fact, I've been to factories with more security than what I was seeing there.

I actually gave them a very good conspiracy theory about how the WTC buildings collapsed, one that's much more sensible than their theory, and no one picked up on it.
I think it's important to them that any theory not make any sense at all, so your idea might work well, Zep. In the last few posts on my thread there, people were actually claiming that at least 80 floors of each tower were wired with enough explosives to turn the concrete to dust...160 acres of it. And WTC 7 was demolished "conventionally," as if that's just a little side job. And all that work was done the weekend before 9/11. And nobody saw it. And there was $160 billion in precious metals stored there. And only $430 was recovered. (Although the same person also claims that a dumptruck full of gold was found, and I suppose that would be worth more than $430.) And it was an inside job (I do remember seeing, on the directory board in the lobby of WTC 1, a listing for "Super Secret In-House Demolitions Squad – Basement level 6").
They refuse to check out the simplest fact unless someone is disagreeing with them., so lay it on 'em

On the BAUT they've been covering 9/11 conspiracy stuff for a while, although mostly against the 'Scholars for 911 truth; (who were recently taken in by an April Fools joke article). Anyway, Spitfire IX summed up my disgust and disdain quite well in this post: (http://www.bautforum.com/showpost.php?p=721832&postcount=1187)
It frankly makes me ill that you claim to be risking your life in a "noble" cause, when so many risked, and lost, their lives on September 11 in attempting to save the lives of others. Possibly feeling that you're fighting the insidious, all-powerful (and nonexistent) conspiracy makes you feel brave. And, as Yodaluver28 pointed out, there's nothing noble or morally courageous in accusing those with whom you have political disagreements of mass murder and conspiracy with no real evidence, or in accusing those who quite legitimately question your theories of being disinformation agents or dupes.
<...>
However, my real problem with your organization is that you and other conspiracists promote an extremely twisted worldview that discourages people from practicing responsible citizenship. After all, why should anyone bother to vote if the elections are all rigged, and both major political parties are conspiring to support a system that's hopelessly corrupt? Why should anyone speak out against government policy if they may be killed for doing so? You don't like Bush or the Republicans? All well and good--you're far from alone. Rather than promote conspiracy theories that are demonstrably fatally flawed, why don't you stick to verifiable facts? Bush's popularity is at an all-time low--surely well-reasoned, factual arguments against his policies will find a large and receptive audience. Don't like the Democrats either? Then join a minor political party, or start your own. Why don't you go register like-minded people to vote--or donate money or time to candidates whose positions you support? Come to that, why don't you run for office yourself, if you're so concerned with making a difference?

I should be along soon, RandFan. I'm not banned, but I've got tons of real life homework and research to do. I did work out some very simple physics while in the shower the other day that utterly demolishes the whole "free fall" argument.
Not sure if anyone will actually listen, but it's two equations (kenetic energy and velocity in free fall,) 3 numbers (height, mass, and number of stories,) and the result is utter nonsense (Twin Towers falling at free fall would cause something like a 5.0 earthquake in New York and would release the same amount of energy as the atom bomb dropped on Nagasaki.)

Not sure if anyone will actually listen, but it's two equations (kenetic energy and velocity in free fall,) 3 numbers (height, mass, and number of stories,) and the result is utter nonsense (Twin Towers falling at free fall would cause something like a 5.0 earthquake in New York and would release the same amount of energy as the atom bomb dropped on Nagasaki.)Cool, it will have the same effect as telling 3rd graders but it should be told.

I should be along soon, RandFan. I'm not banned, but I've got tons of real life homework and research to do. I did work out some very simple physics while in the shower the other day that utterly demolishes the whole "free fall" argument.

Post a link once you're done.

Things are actually going well for me at the moment. I don't know how long it will last but people are being fair to me.
Y'know, it's funny. I've been messing around on Rapture Ready from time to time and once you get past the totally irrational frenzied types, you really can have civil and productive debate. I've found it to be really rather refreshing.
Not that I have a prayer (pardon the pun) of swaying anyone to my perspective, but I've found it enjoyable nonetheless.
And, delphi_ote, do please post the link when you're done. I'd like to see it, too.
