30. More to the point, it keeps threads from being cluttered with posts of
Edited on Mon Aug-07-06 03:44 AM by Jazz2006
the following type of posts - all paraphrased, obviously - that are made by CTers repeatedly in the dungeon (i.e. NOT made by the vast majority of the population who obviously disagree with the CTers, nor even made by the skeptics who visit and post in the 911 dungeon in refutation of CT posts, but posts made by the CTers themselves).

"it was all a vast conspiracy by the BFEE and nothing anyone says will ever convince me otherwise";
"NORAD had orders to 'stand down' so that * could pull it all off";
"war games were scheduled for that day to distract from the real world events";
"Jews were warned to stay away from work that day";
"the Jews did it";
"I'm postulating as fact something that I just pulled out of my... er, ear";
"Steven Jones should be believed even though he has no expertise whatsoever in the fields of science that he postulates on";
"Loose Change is amazing";
"Loose Change is garbage" (pay no attention to the CTers change of heart after its hundreds of glaring errors were pointed out);
"there were no planes, they were holograms";
"the real planes were diverted to a military base and all the passengers executed";
"a bunny cage in my backyard equates to scientific research and proves that the towers couldn't possibly have collapsed";
"oops ~ not so scientific, that");
"Alex Jones should be believed because he yells really loud";
"Norm Chomsky does not believe the 9/11 conspiracy theories for a nanosecond" (oops ~ how did that sneak in there?);
"it would only require 7 people to pull of 9/11";
"thousands of people who worked at the WTC towers were part of a massive conspiracy to kill John O'Neill" along with many thousands of others outside of the WTC towers, of course ~ oops, what happened to the whole thing requiring only 7 people?;
"911 Eyewitness is amazing";
"911 Eyewitness sucks now that its glaring errors have been pointed out by others, never mind";
"some guy using various aliases on the internet claims to have been a whistleblower in several different conspiracies and they are all somehow connected to 9/11";
"none of the planes actually took off that day";
"missiles and holograms are the answer";
"all of the passengers on those non-existent planes were actually taken out and killed and disappeared by the gov't";
"the passengers were diverted to some top secret underwater world and are all alive and well there"; "the WTC towers had concrete cores";
"the towers were brought down by controlled demolitions even thought their collapses look absolutely nothing like any controlled demolition before or since";
"FDNY murdered their fellow firefighters and they caught it all on tape in a "snuff film";
"because someone with zero background or experience in structural engineering or controlled demolitions says so, it must be true that the buildings were brought down by controlled demolitions"; "the existence of sulfur means that the buildings were brought down by controlled demolitions";
"the evidence was quickly destroyed, the steel was taken away and sold overseas immediately thus destroying the evidence that would prove controlled demolitions";
"the fires were so 'spooky' that firefighters didn't want to go near them";
"the shadows on the west face of the north side of the building on the right in this photograph taken from the west shows that it must have been a conspiracy even though I have no idea when the photograph was taken and even though I have no idea what I'm talking about";
"I don't need any evidence to support my conspiracy theory but you need detailed photographic evidence (even in situations where none is possible for obvious reasons) to refute my conspiracy theories"; "there were no planes";
"there duplicate planes";
"planes were diverted and dumped in the ocean";
"planes landed in Cleveland or Portland and were subsequently dealt with";
"Larry Silverstein admitted to demolishing WTC7";
"Larry Silverstein owned a strip club called Runway 69";
"it was all done by remote controlled planes";
"oh yeah, controlled demolitions don't look like that so it was something new and improved, but don't ask me what it was, it's sufficient to say that "they" did it";
"we don't need no stinking evidence";
"but what about the pyroclastic flow?";
"oh, okay, it's true that the whole 'pyroclastic flow' bit was a meme I was repeating but eventually admit was meaningless and moot and could never provide any support for, never mind";
"Hopsicker is dead on";
"Oops, Hopsicker is totally wrong";
"the buildings fell at free fall speeds"
"okay, so they didn't fall at free fall speeds, but what does that matter?";
"I can control gravity";
"Okay, okay, so I can't control gravity but I'd had a few beers when I said that, so what does it matter?";
"when in doubt, make up a silly analogy about granny's head blowing up";

etc. etc. etc.

That is but a tiny sample. The list goes on and on and on... and is more than sufficient reason for these threads not to be in GD.

Edit to change it from a long paragraph to a list.
