... as do the numerous other experts who have written technical paper about various aspects of 9/11. And furthermore, they say things that actually make sense! And yet you protect your conspiracy delusions by conjuring up the delusion that they're all in on a coverup, while promoting demonstrably crappy scientists like Harrit simply because they tell you what you want to hear. So who do you think you're kidding by asking for credentials, other than yourself?

And yet the "truth movement" passes further into insignificance and irrelevance with every passing year. Why is that? The problem with your head count seems to be that you aren't accounting for attrition.
> And you can't stop it.
Nope, but I can certainly warn people that the "truth movement" is peddling bullshit, provide at least some of the details and point out some of the blatant dishonesty, and let people look into it further and make up their own minds. Obviously, that bugs the hell out of "truthers" who want their bullshit to go unchallenged, and that's exactly why it needs to be done. Bullshit that's ignored doesn't disappear; it procreates in dark corners. It doesn't matter how "civil" my "debating" style is; what matters is that you don't have cogent responses on the actual issues, so instead you make feeble attempts to put me on the defensive.
> By the way, who taught you that being arrogant, snarky, insulting and condescending was a good way to get people on your "side" (whatever that is)?
Most "truthers," like creationists, take pride in being incorrigible, so I don't waste time trying to cajole them into reasoned thought. Either they will eventually come to it on their own or they won't. You don't seem to understand that I couldn't care much less what they believe; I only care about the nonsense that they post on public forums with the expectation that it should go unchallenged. We're not talking about subjective political opinions; we're talking about a "movement" that is a blight on reasoned, evidence-based epistemology, hustling unsubstantiated paranoid speculations as "truth" while ignoring each and every reason for calling bullshit on it. I believe I give "truthers" all the respect they deserve.
