Well if it's any indication... in the seven years I've been here I've yet to meet a single truth movement member in person in my home town. Not one since I went on trips to Central Florida, or Atlanta, Georgia. Not one at all... well that isn't entirely accurate, I met one person who believes the TV fakery material is convincing, although, I'm not sure how far he'd be considered a truth movement member, he isn't part of any local truth movement group that I've heard of.

From day one? What an entirely unskeptical point of view.

How so? There hasn't been a single day when the 'truth movement' has provided neither sufficient evidence about their theories to counter the official story, nor action to indicate their commitment to bringing anyone to justice.

Really? So how much time do you spend moderating (cough... gag) the flat earth sub-forum?

You are really arguing about the exact day that the Truth movement failed? Really?
I find that hilarious!
Anyway, I am perfectly willing to agree with Red Ibis that the day that the truth movement completely failed was after its first day! Good job!

You are better than the flat earthers?
It seems you guys aren't setting your sights very high.

If you are referring to the General Skepticism section of this forum, then a little less time than I spend moderating here. If you have another forum in mind, I don't moderate anywhere else at the moment.
Not sure why that is of any relevance, though? The point that seems to have sailed abuot 5 miles over your head is that people believe stupid things, and have done for a long long time before the 'truth movement' ever existed.

Oh is there a dedicated flat earth subforum over at General Skepticism? Because I can't seem to find it. 9/11 conspiracy always seems to be pretty hopping here at JREF though. Why is that?
Oh I think you're pretty sure. I think my point hit right someone between the eyes. For instance how much do you comment over in the dedicated flat earth subforum?

No, there's not. Which is why I tried to help you out by suggesting the closest alternative we have, where that topic would be discussed.
Probably because it doesn't exist. Like 'truther' evidence.
It's actually been one of the quietest sections in recent months, as there is less to talk about.
When it is active, it's usually because people feel strongly about the event at hand, which resulted in the deaths of so many innocent people, and that others feel the need to be disrespectful about.
No. I have no idea why you felt the need to ask about moderation of a non-existent forum in response to a comment I made about bizarre beliefs. Please explain.
Since that forum doesn't exist, I don't comment there at all - nobody does. I do comment quite regularly in the General Skepticism forum, though,and yet I'm still at a loss as to the relevance of where I may or may not moderate, as regards my opinion that people in the world have held weird beliefs, like that the earth is flat, regardless of the existence of the 'truth movement'. In other words, the 'truth movement' does not hold the monopoly on fail. I gave flat earth as an example of another fail. It's nothing to do with moderation. I hope this fuller explanation has made it easier for you to get that point.

Dude, you totally win. You are better than a Flat Earther! Way to go! Heck, you're better than the No Moon crowd. However, you are still looking up at the Atlanteans.
Keep reaching for the stars!
Can I get a laughing dog!

Oh would you look at this? 16.5 is coming in to defend Chillzero. How chivalrous. But are you sure it's fair? One moderator and one big strong debunker against one lonely crazy twoofer?
Maybe you should go get some more people.
Stars? Which subforum is that? Would you even know? Do you ever leave this one?
I thought you were a laughing dog?

And again you focus on something completely irrelevant. I did not post as a moderator - does it initimdate you that I have a role other than that of member?

Dude, I totally said you were a winner! Don't get all emo on us.
Red Ibis argued that the truth movement did not fail on its first day, and you are arguing that you are better than flat earthers.
Curiously low standards fellas. Why is that?

You have to remember that from his vantage point he has superior knowledge that the case for what he refers to as the "official story" is weak on knees. Or something to that effect. He seems to use that as a launching pad for his provocations, just my observation...
I tried to take a bunch of the conspiracy claims seriously at one point, but there's a time at which they state a claim that the government is doing "such and such" to keep a story covered up and they back stab their audience by hypocritically choosing to resort to the same methods they claim the government is using. The pictures they use to prove the molten metal claim are one such example, showing cropped photographs of clean up operations to say "this cut was made by thermite to bring down the building", is another. I have to wonder if doing any of that is remotely necessary if they have the volume of evidence they claim to have to prove their case.
I've known you to make use similar tactics of hypocrisy, although I'm resigned to the fact that you'll never address it anyway regardless of how much you're reminded of it...

No, It's the distraction of your avatar that has him miffed (kids)
Hehe. Not a new suggestion (in general).
There is at least one member who says very little, if anything to me in threads or as a mod when I change my avatar, and the very day I change it back to this, all hell breaks loose.
Bizarro.
To balance that, there are those who will compliment me on it, although that tends to be once, maybe twice ... whereas the oddballs who get ... idunno... furious (?) ... at me, do it regularly.

I'm still looking for that flat earth sub-forum. I mean it is as disputed as 9/11 right?
Right?
Yeah right?
