On the old LC forum, I was "suspended" for three years! Does that give me semi-pro status at least?
The equivalent of minor league baseball, but for crazy internet forums.

They're so damn paranoid. Like it would kill them to allow people to freely express dissent. We let the CTists have the run of this place, until they start making threats of legal action or ignoring the rules.
I guess in the CTist world, it is the content of your ideas that get you censored, rather than your conduct.
All the best wishes during your suspension, Leroy, it is very inspiring to the rest of us. Your bravery, your courage. We're with you all the way, just hang in there. The time will pass quickly.HA! Off-topic, but I've just been suspended for a month at the LC forum. Does that earn me a badge, or do I need to be banned?
You think you're a smarty-pants, but what you fail to realize is that WTC 7 is their strongest evidence, which negates your points.Why the hell are the twoofers still arguing about WTC7?
- WTC7 suffered extensive damage from falling debris
- it was leaning over before it fell
- fires burned for six hours
- the FDNY feared it would collapse 2 hours before it did
- no demolition charges were heard
- no seismographs picked up explosions
- there STILL is no logical reason for a) blowing it up, and b) waiting until 5:20 pm to do it
What exactly is there still to debate on this one? "Pull it"???

Wrong: should be no 10 story hole*Actually C7 wishes to have us say that we all believe that there was a 10 storey or larger hole* in the south face of WTC 7.
RightWhat he is not stating are the particulars of the hole he is talking about, one that most probably did not exist
RightNIST included that report along with several others which report similar but less extensive damage to the south face of WTC 7.
RightWhat Chris 7 wants us to state is whether or not a 10 storey gouge in the south central face of WTC 7, that extended from [floor 10 to the ground and] the wall to the core, existed.
Right [except for always. They left out the 'possible' on pg 31, 32 and statement 1) in the Summary]Thing is that NIST always puts qualifiers on any statement or graphic concerning the possible extent of damage done there. It is likely that this worst reported case is not the reality that day and anyone who actually has read the report should easily see that.
Yes. Many people believe that the massive damage as described in this report definitely occuredC7 wishes to suggest then that NIST deliberatly included the statements and graphics to mislead people into believeing that this massive gouge did exist. In this he hopes to cast doubt on the [credibility] of the report.
I respectfully disagree. The report is very misleading IMOSorry but anyone who does not see the report's use of this statement for what it is, simply another eyewitness report that demonstrates that there was damage to the central area of the south face but that it does not claim or mean that the worst extent of damage that was reported was a fact, is not reading carefully and is only skiming or looking just at the diagrams and pictures.

Oh wait....thermite. How could I not see it?
Thermite goggles are standard issue CT gear...I dunno, the CT's seem to be able to with great clarity.![]()

It was the "wishes to have us say" [should have been] "believe they will say"No, you have stated that you believe that most OT's will state that a 10 storey and deep gouge existed. Perhaps the semantic problems that arise in a text only conversation rear there ugly head here....
NotedPlease do not re-write my comments. If you wish to correct me then show my statement and explain your stance separately.
No. I'm slaming the SOB who coerced them into publishing that insipid piece of misleading dribble.You indeed would be calling into disrepute the authors of this report if you believe that they deliberatly strove to mislead readers on this or any issue. If it is a simple credibility problem then you would have to believe that it was an inadvertant error on their part. Seems to me that you have stated on other occasions that you believe it was deliberate and you have never objected to my saying you believe it was deliberate before. Have you changed your mind and now believe that it may be an inadvertant error (I don't believe it was an error at all) rather than a deliberate attempt to mislead the public?
He made false statements and attempted to do so from a position of authority as an employee as the UL, not as an individual and was subsequently fired. Or was there something else?... Rember what happened to Kevin Ryan]
We have differing opinions on why he was fired. Enough said.He made false statements and attempted to do so from a position of authority as an employee as the UL, not as an individual and was subsequently fired. Or was there something else?
