Dylan Says No Mas

True enough - but I doubt that they are avoiding Ron's show only because they feel "disrespected."
 
I can tell you with 100% certainty why they are avoiding the show...

Ron, i like what ive seen of your show.

However, i think a big problem is your handling of these people. By that i mean, referring them as fantasists, twoofers, morons or whatever name-calling you can come up with. People like to be treated respectfully, regardless how much you disagree with their opinions.

Again, its a shame because on the show you actually are very fair, let your opposition respond so on so forth... but this petty name calling and general disrespect only makes people reluctant to appear on an otherwise good show.

I'm sorry, but this isn't a difference of opinion over NHS funding or Trident or Special Needs Education.

There is very little room for civilised debate, simply because we have here two ideologies:

1. says, regardless of your politcal orientation, does the evidence point to a conspiracy by the US govt on 911 involving CD of the twin towers and wtc7, a faked crash in shanksville and a false flag plane at the pentagon? NO

2. says, so you hate the right wing fascists in power? OK well, the towers were CD...don't ****ing ask for evidence, I'm telling you, no plane crashed in shanksville....why? Because I ****ing say so....I have eyes you know? and no plane crashed into the pentagon, it was a missile and the plane flew over on a faked heading....just ****ing trust me I know this ****, ok?

When faced with that, who can blame people for getting tetchy? And there was no way that steel melted, see, coz it didn't, and anyway, how do you explain the melted steel, huh?
 
I'm not suprised Dylan didn't accept your invitation for another debate. Dylan didn't say very much in the previous debate. Although he admitted to an astonishing revelation, he said his film contained errors. Wow. I would think one's credibility would absolutely be tarnished after admitting to something like that.
 
I don't think these kids know what they are in for. If their movie is as succesful as they think they it is going to be, they won't be going on talk shows against tour guides, they will be going on against MIT trained engineers. If they can't handle the former, then they certainly can't handle the latter.

But I guess anything for their 15 minutes of fame.

The "oh crap, now what do I do?" look on Dylan's his face when the BBC reporter told him what the coroner really said....that was priceless. :D

A classic "deer in the headlights" moment, that was.

Poor Do-Over. No wonder he's so afraid to debate. He has no debating skills whatsoever, and he knows that the "arguments" of his fellow conspiracy fantasists are worthless.

I wouldn't mind seeing other fantasists on Hardfire either. The problem is, these people are not exactly knocking down the door to appear. You'd almost think they were reluctant to subject their well-researched theories and deeply-felt convictions to serious scrutiny.

Knock knock.
 
Man, if you're not even going to finish your own knock-knock joke, I'll have to start my own.

Knock knock.
 
You're mighty curious about my identity, Hokulele. Are you also curious about why Silverstein said "Pull it?" It's on tape so don't try to deny it! You might not know this, but "pull" is a demolition term for blowing up a building with demolition charges.

:D
 
Whatever you do Ron, stick to not allowing TS1234 on the show. It would be appealing to the attention seeking streak he flaunts so vigorously in this forum.
 
You honestly can't blame Dylan,

They LC kids got slaughtered in their last encounter. It's not unusual to see them chicken out of a debate after their last performance.

Pathetic Dylan. Pathetic. But hey, that's the image that a lot of people have of you now, so I guess you're used to it.
 
Oh Ron stop being such a stick-in-the-mud! Put TS1234 on your show. Don't try to debate him, just let him talk for an hour or whatever duration you have and during the cut-aways just make the universal sign for "cuckoo". After he leaves the studio, do a little back announce saying, "Well folks, you saw it with your own eyes. That is what Mr Baker believes happened on 9/11, if you agree with him please seek professional help."

I know it probably isn't your usual format, but hell it might rate.:duck:

With all due respect, I'm not missing anything. When your position compels you to claim that thousands of eyewitnesses are lying or deluded, that a grieving mother is lying when she describes an agonizing last conversation with her son, that all the demolition specialists in the world don't understand what they're seeing--well, you can't expect gentle treatment. I'm not the least bit surprised that conspiracists are reluctant to defend their fantasies. Preaching to the choir is much easier.

Errrr... i wasnt talking to you. I never said you were missing anything.

The point is getting people to come on your show. Be it about bee-keeping, 9/11, ghosts or atheism... you want people to be your guest : dont refer to them as morons. You are entitled to call people twoofers all you want. That is your right. Just dont be surprised when those people aren't too keen to come and spend an afternoon with you.
