And, immediately, the backpedaling begins.
Now he has to have a sticky thread. Now he has to be at the top of the board. Not the post has to be up for a year. Now JREF has to meet his conditions, whatever they may be. Now he has to redefine what he really meant by "Resolved: WTC1,2, and 7 came down due to impact damage and fire," which I thought was pretty clear. What's the matter, TruthSeeker1234, you're only interested in finding the truth if you get the movie rights? None of this puke is of any relevance whatsoever to your original offer, or your alleged interest in forcing a defense of the real story of 9/11. You made an offer. It was accepted. Either honor it, or go crawl down a hole. |

If he backs out, who is going to reimburse me for the popcorn I have already purchased?
It's a good think I didn't buy those cigars, too. Seriously, TS. Stop being a gimboid and put up or shut up. You had several responses to your challenge which were not "serious" enough for you. Now you receive a very detailed and completely serious response, which you label "encouraging" after bringing in a plethora of new conditions and demanding that we make arrangements between yourself and a third, unrelated, party (the JREF). I challenge you to go away and make all the arrangements yourself (it's not up to us to organise your challenge for you) and then come back here and post exactly what the rules of your challenge are with a promise that these rules are final and will not be modified or added to in any way when someone accepts your challenge. |

Truth1234,
You've had numerous acceptances to your debate. Pre-rule change. And though, yes my second reaction to you was one of humor, because everyone here knows that you won't put your money where your mouth is. Plus, I can hold my own, thankyouverymuch. You should have seen the recent video before Jon Gold took it down. I have a good serious face. |

Just so I'm on the same page, Christophera is or is not the individual who believes the buildings were built to be demolished?

You couldn't correct the errors I did with someones bogus interpretations of a construction photo of the pit during the towers construction. Another case of someone thinking they had evidence against the concrete core that actually supported it.

That is an understatement. The cast walls of the concrete core were engineered to be near perfectly containment for the explosives coating the rebar. The floors had special plates cast into their concrete that cut the interior box columns taht surrounded the core outside of it.
Here is a diagram that explains the concept of built in explosive shear fro the columns. http://forums.randi.org/attachment.p...1&d=1159072520 |

Angela Davis had one of those, and it put her on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list.

Congratulations Stellafane! I have chosen you, the writer. Who better to write it than the writer? You are hired. Forgive me if I am wrong, but I think I remember someone calling you Kate, or maybe it was you. In any case, I wrote this to Kate, but if that's not correct then please understand that "Kate" means "Stellafane".
Congratulations Kate! I have chosen you, above all others to earn the $1000.00! You come highly recommended by R.Mackey. I have a great idea, an it could be a career breakthrough for you. Why don't you pitch publishers on the idea of your doing a story about this debate? Instead of posting right away on JREF, we agree to do the whole debate by private email. We each agree not to publish any part of our dialog until after our publishing deals have been signed. While our debate dialog is proceeding, you can also communicate with me and ask me anything you want about my personal life and what I do for a living. A lot of people think what I do for a living would be very interesting and rewarding, and they're right! I manipulate many unusual objects in fun way, and somehow that translates into paychecks in my mailbox. Kate, I will reveal to you anything you want to know, as long as you agree to keep it all to yourself until our publisher decides to break the story. I'll send you $100 per week through paypal for 10 weeks, totaling $1000. That should give you plenty of time to pitch your story idea and get a deal for yourself. There seems to be great curiosity out there about just who I might happen to turn out to be in real life. I will tell all to Kate, and Kate will have herself a great story. "Conspiracy Theorist Lunatic Debunked Back in to Reality" or whatever by Kate. "Kate Wins Debate! Handsdown!" There Kate. Pitch that headline. I'm sure you can think of something even better than my lame titles. You can give them the actual debate, and also do a human interest piece on me. "How the other side thinks" or whatever. "Journey into a diseased mind". There, give them that one. A real hit piece. They sell Kate. Now go sell your idea about doing a hit piece on TruthSeeker1234. I can tell you this much now. My real name currently appears on the Scholars for 9/11 Truth home page. |

It doesn't take a genious to see where this is going.
TS: These are my terms. Who will debate me? Several people: Okay, I'll do it. TS: Excellent! Here are my new terms. Let's go. Several people: That's not what I agreed to. TS: Oh I see how it is! Backing out, are you? Chicken, are you? Hah! I knew it! Everyone, look! Nobody can defend the official story, this is proof positive it was a CD! TS, do you honestly, genuinely not see the problem with this? Think VERY CAREFULLY. |

I'm sorry about one line post, so I'll make it a few: LOL HAHAHAHA etc.. Seriously this is just retarded; why would you pay $1000 for a debate you could get from plenty of people here for free? I am pretty jealous actually, but not really because I don't think that Stellafane is going to get even a wiff of that money. |

Well I'll be...
First off, my name is not Kate. In fact, I'm not even female (sorry, dude). I guess I can understand the confusion, since my nick is often shortened to "Stella," something I never considered when I chose it. If your selection of me was influenced by believing that I'm a woman, then feel free to reconsider. If not, let's proceed... Your book idea sounds very interesting, and I thought about it long and hard. But after careful consideration, I'm afraid I must decline. Frankly, I do not believe the 9/11 denier movement has enough broad public appeal and longevity to justify a publisher taking on this project. By the time our debate is done (which I'm assuming would be several months from now), I'm not sure anyone is going to care. An article, on the other hand, is a viable possibility, and I suspect I could find someone willing to publish it as such. However... The original proposal was for a debate in this forum, following Arkan's rules. Taking the debate "private" really isn't in accordance with the spirit of the proposal. And much as I'd like an easy $1000 (and trust me, in my line that's nothing to sneeze at), in some weird way I feel like I'd be betraying this forum by accepting. So bottom line: Let's have the debate the way it was original proposed, or feel free to select another person for this job. (I believe there are a number of other professional writers who post here, and perhaps one might be interested.) |

TS, are you just lonely and looking for action? Try whozyourdaddy.com (I hope I made that up
)An email exchange is not a public debate! This is your thread and your challenge and you've changed the rules every five posts. I don't pretend to speak for Stellafane but this is insulting to the forum as a whole. You not only keep moving the goalposts, you're changing the measurements of the playing field, changing the rules, deflating the ball, and naming new linesmen and referees! You bring about a reaction that reminds me of my favorite crappy character in a crappy movie - Billy Jack. Just before he thrashes the bad guy within an inch of his life (or maybe it's when he actually kills him), he grits his teeth and explains that he tries, he really tries, to hold his temper and live by the pacifist teachings of his lady friend.... And then, of course, to the delight of the audience he goes all whup ass on spoiled brat Bernard. Well, we've tried... we've really tried... to be civil. You're pushing beyond the limits of tolerance, though. After stating that we were to choose (in your last goalpost moving email), you come and make your own choice (why do I see you giggling like Strother Martin and saying "a chick... hee hee... a chick..."? just my twisted cynicism, I guess) and additionally ignore all the previous formats discussed and/or agreed upon. What's next? Chess by snailmail? You take black, I'll take white, and we'll tell everyone how clever we are after the game ends in 2008? Have I called you a liar and an ignorant troll, recently. I can't be bothered looking so I'll just repeat, hereunder. You, sir, are a liar and an ignorant troll. |

The odds on you winning this one are rapidly approaching the Pepsi Straight Flush (or whatever it was called) collect the bottle caps sweepstake back in the 70's. I think (not sure) that was the one that changed the rules requiring them to mention the number of each prize. Turns out the odds were 27,000,000:1 against you winning. Some wag commented in a magazine article that the odds of you getting hit by the planet Mercury on your way to work were about 23,000,000:1.
Keep your eyes on the sky over Hull.... Is there a large spherical object heading your way?
