This is not the only time this has happened. See, for instance, the letter from Frank Gourley that ACSE "published," along with Dr. Bazant's rather scathing response.
The interdisciplinary interests of Gourley, a chemical engineer
with a doctorate in jurisprudence, are appreciated. Although none
of the discusser’s criticisms is scientifically correct, his discussion
provides a welcome opportunity to dispel doubts recently voiced
by some in the community outside structural mechanics and engineering...
Closing Comments
Although everyone is certainly entitled to express his or her opinion
on any issue of concern, interested critics should realize that,
to help discern the truth about an engineering problem such as the
WTC collapse, it is necessary to become acquainted with the
relevant material from an appropriate textbook on structural mechanics.
Going off the deep end Scott ? You should just call him Ryan, or Mr.Mackey. ' Jesus Christ ' seems ridiculously exggerated.Jesus Christ. Thank you for clarifying this point. This makes it an entirely different matter. Letters get published for no reason at all. Bill could publish a letter if he/she/it wanted to. This means nothing at all about the status of his claims.
Why is it even up here then? Except to make it appear as if Truth Gurus are able to publish their beliefs in genuine academic forums? 911 Truth remains the domain of high school kids and the mentally deranged.
I guess the real point of this is that genuine scientists still aren't interested in this crap heap of an idea. Are you surprised?
I mean it's not like in the war where 'Loose lips might sink ships ' is it ? Ships of State possibly tough. lol

I think I know how strong Heiwa'a paper or ' discussion document ' will be.
We know how strong it will be too,about as strong as a 30x dilution.
You can find Heiwa's comments on the 'discussion paper' here as well.
The entire link is copied below. It's on the 911 forum.

Congratulations Hewia!
Lets hope it's assigned to an issue soon.
If these discusssion papers are not reviewed for scientific validity orior to publication then on what grounds are they published ? I think you are telling porkie pies here Ryan.Dr. Corotis is familiar with them. And Heiwa's empty headed letter speaks for itself. You'll see.
Personally I think some scientists occasionally enjoy the opportunity to demolish conspiracy-minded idiots in a public forum. I'd have simply rejected the letter as too stupid to be worth addressing, but it's their call.
Stupid post like this expose and confirm truthers as the anti-intellectual cult members of a vapor movement. Nothing is too stupid or so nonsensical that is is not considered evidence by the fringe conspiracy theorist thriving on dirt dumb delusions. These insane statements are dishes of fresh brains for the zombies of the movent of delusional lies known as 911truth.Not that the dismissal of Bazant makes much difference really. All it effectively does is remove the only existing fig leaf that the government has. Bazant was only ever a limiting case in the best of all possible worlds.
abut it is certainly better to let the emperor stand shivering with no clothes whatsoever rather than leave him even the thin rag offered by Bazant.

It's up here because nobody ever does a search. Seriously, every idea the Truthers have is here, beat to death, and quivering. Try it, you'll find it.
Ah, a quick peek reaffirms why I've got BS on ignore.
Since BS is apparently so intrigued with the process, perhaps he/she/it can follow Ryan's advice 'Anyone who wants to verify this for themselves, you should contact Dr. Corotis, the editor in question.'.....but that would spoil everything, by answering the question. We wouldn't want that, would we?![]()
More BS BS 'Bazant was only ever a limiting case in the best of all possible worlds.' LOL
He/She/It has no idea what that sentence means, apparently. I think you'd get more comprehension from a Parrot....'Squawk! 9/11 Was an Inside Job! 9/11 Was an Inside Job! Squawk!

I think thats why someone needs to make a thread or website that contains subject headers with links to various discussion threads. It may have been discussed before but sometimes its very hard to find something specific.
