This concept applies to any CT, it should be noted, not just 9/11 types.
And yes, it can be a lot of fun.
I'm currently "debating" the Moon Hoax with a British guy called Dave Cosnette. Dave calls himself Cosmic Dave, but among the Moon Hoax Debunkers, he's better known as Co(s)mic Dave, because of his spectacular ability to support mutually contradictory theories. On his web-site, he manages to promote theories that the Moon landings were faked, and that when the astronauts landed on the Moon, they found alien artifacts. When pressed on this issue, he says that the earlier missions were faked, and the later ones landed, whereupon they found the artifacts.
Or at least, that was an earlier assertion. He now seems to have swung back to believing all the landings were faked.
His latest piece of brain squirming started out with his assertion that only a few people up the top of NASA knew that Apollo was faked. When I explained that the Moon rocks are genuine, and he couldn't deny it any longer, he theorised the existence of an unmanned sample return spacecraft. When I explained that thousands of engineers would have been involved in designing, building and operating this craft, and that they would have quickly figured out what it was for, he said that they've been kept quiet by the Official Secrets Act.
So, not only were the landings simultaneously faked and not faked, in addition, simultaneously, only a small number of people knew about this and a lot knew about it.
What gets really scary is when others read these statements and see no problems.
