And therein lies your entire problem. You saw something and without question accepted it as fact and then regurgitated it without understanding that the word has a scientific and therefore specific meaning simply because you had seen it (most likely at a truther website that also promotes other crap).
However, this error will make zero impact on you. You will, without a shadow of a doubt, ignore the fact that you were parroting without understanding and continue on boldly. Perhaps it's time for you to retire and seek a period of reflection whereby you confront your lack of understanding. |

I invited Dave for a drink:
Sunstealer: Hi david, how's it going? david.watts: Yeah, great. Are you going to the pub tonight? Sunstealer: Yeah, I'll be in the Fox and Hounds about 8pm. Are you coming? david.watts: Yep, should be there around 8. Sunstealer: OK mate, see you there. Later that night david.watts makes his way to the Fox and Hounds and enters. The first person he sees is Sunstealer; sat at a table with two beers. Sunstealer motions to david (over hear mate!) david.watts: Hi. Sunstealer: Alright? I got a beer in for you. david.watts: Ch, ch, umm, cheers. Is that really you? Sunstealer: What do you mean? david.watts: Well, um, I've not seen the CCTV video of you arriving? Sunstealer: What are you on about mate? Sunstealer's friend comes over and takes a picture. david.watts: Well, you know, how can I be sure you are actually here in this pub now? Sunstealer: Well, I'm here now, talking to you. david.watts: Yes, I know that but are there any eyewitnesses? Sunstealer: What do you mean? david.watts: Has anyone seen you here? Sunstealer: Yeah, my friend just took a photo. david.watts: OK, but why not just release a video and put this thing to bed? Sunstealer: Are you having a psychotic episode? I'm right here. david.watts: But what plausible reason is there for not doing so? Sunstealer: Well, you can see for yourself. You are responding to my voice! Look, that person over there is taking photos of friends and we are in the background. Ask them for a look at the photo. david.watts: But they don't have photos of you outside. Sunstealer: Of course they don't they are only taking pictures inside the pub. david.watts: So you were never in the pub then? Sunstealer: No and you owe my friend £3 for the pint of beer you are drinking. david.watts: Why? Sunstealer: Well, you didn't buy the beer you are drinking, I didn't buy the beer because I'm not in the pub so it must have been my friend. david.watts: Have you got CCTV video of your friend going to the pub? |

It maybe on my head cam!
..... Aw, its just a blur, could have been anything. Could have been a govmnt fly, or a drone painted with stripes. Actually, I left my head cam lying around. Could have been messed with. So I guess it didnt happen but for the BEE CARCUSS I HAD TO WIPE OFF MY HEAD! No, I didnt keep the dead Bee, or the bits of the Bee that were left anyway. And no I dont have photos of the Bee either. |

I guess there are folks out there who just engage in trolling as a hobby. They're more interested in attention and annoying people than anything else. Eventually it bores even them, I suspect.
I notice Tony Szamboti is trolling over at Metabunk. He's been going at it trying to pretend that there was only a small hole on the S face of WTC 1; that no debris made it thru the tower and out the S side; that the hijackers couldn't have flown the planes into the towers; stuff that should be embarrassing to anyone who considers themselves the least bit 'expert' in 9/11 matters. But it is instructive to see that he's not just invested in the myths regarding the eventual collapse of the towers but a lot of other truther memes as well. And he never, ever admits that he's wrong, even when it's very obvious. If I ever had a chance to debate Tony, I'd zero right in on the peripheral beliefs, they're so insane that whatever else he said would be ignored by anyone with a functioning brainstem. |

Yes...similar thoughts here. Subjectively I perceive a downscaling of intellectual skill with trolls. Those we saw say 3-4-5 years back used clever twisting of the topic to do the irritating. Current or recent ones rely on or quickly resort to personal insult. More obvious on another forum I've been visiting (DebatePolitics)
He's been rejected in disgrace by former colleagues on The911Forum - one of them has been following him and watching his decline. I chose not to. I go straight for fatal errors in his starting premises or assumptions. From "Missing Jolt" on he looks for things in the future when they are already past at his starting point. (The bits that were going to "Jolt" have already missed each other.) I don't have much support for that understanding........Yet. |

Aluminium also burns quite nicely so you don't expect to recover 100% of an aircraft following a fire. Many airfields used to have burn dumps to dispose of unwanted airframes before recycling became more common.

Sunstealer,
Wanted to let you know that I appreciated very much your inviting me out for a drink. But I have a question or two. Did you ever see your friends photo or photos from that person "over there" with us in the background? If not, how do you know it was me drinking the beer? And even if you did see the pictures, how can you really be sure it was me? I mean is there video of me arriving? If there is, could you show it to me? If you won't show it to me, how do I know it was me drinking beer with you? Or for that matter, how do you know it was me drinking the beer with you. If you will just show me the video of me arriving, I will pay your friend back for the pint. If you won't show me, how do I know it wasn't your friend's girlfriend that bought me the pint? And if you say that yes it was his girlfriend, could I see the video please? |
