After reading 10,000 of the 14,000 posts you have on Loose change (my brain started to bleed part way through the part III) and all 3,000 odd posts in christophera's thread on the invisible concrete cores, I know that I can't post external links. You have to keep out the spam bots, I know.

But I have written an article about this and since I "borrowed" a whole lot of research from these very forums, I wanted to share it before I put it up on my own site. This is the address minus the stuff at the beginning:

You guys seem to be cool with people posting links as long as they're actually relevant to the discussion so I hope this isn't considered breaking some kind of rule. If it is I apologize, I'm not trying to mess up your forums. I've logged probably 75 hours here the last two weeks. This discussion simply isn't happening anywhere else on the level that it's happening here.

There is adult language in that article, by the way.

My friend, you have a natural gift for the poison pen. Nice work.

I note, though, that when I read your article, one of your ads was for Halliburton, and another was for the Freemasons. I shouldn't wonder if they start fingering YOU for the conspiracy...
 
Woo-woo (or just plain woo) refers to ideas considered irrational or based on extremely flimsy evidence or that appeal to mysterious occult forces or powers.

Well, at least this means you aren't going to call me a woo when I go woo-HOO :D as my Buckeyes beat the snot out of Texas tonight.

And aside to David, yes, great site. To the point, and yet still humorous. The best way to go. :)

:jaw-dropp

Welcome, David! Now go take a walk or something. Sheesh, even Christophera hasn't read all of his thread.

Great work on your piece. "Okay, that's probably true."

Welcome David.

Which makes me think, how many people registered in the last few days? Boy, this is like a gym club after the hollidays! :D

I was flipping past CSPAN on Monday I think. They had that talk show they do where they segregate the "Republican" and "Democrat" calls. They were interviewing a guy about the War on Terror, he had written a book about the subject. They go to the phones...

...and the VERY FIRST call I hear is a guy saying, "How can you sit there and discuss terrorism without acknowledging that 9/11 was an inside job?"

The look on the host and guest's faces were priceless, a sort of awkward embarrassment. But that's the way it is now, I run into this thing wherever I go. The first time I ever got linked to Loose Change was on a pro football forum, in a thread about the Chicago Bears. Out of the blue. That's how it is now, you can't avoid it.

So now, with the anniversary, you've got all these mainstream outlets, and Geraldo, talking about it. And so a whole bunch of people outside the usual circle of conspiracy buffs are going to see this stupid thing and right as you're doing your best job of debunking it, it's going to get record numbers of downloads.

Let's give him the benefit of the doubt. I'm curious what he has to say even though it's up to him to prove his extrodinary claim.

Great to see you over here, i've been a fan of Pointless Waste of Time for years (even before the big Star Wars and Return of the King articles). I hadn't realized you'd written a 9/11 conspiracy article, great work there!

Haha, I wonder if that's someone from another message board I frequent. Topics along the lines of "I'm ________. Ask me anything." are popular there, and someone with that same username posts there. Probably just a coincidence, though.

No one will ever be better at that than the guy who posted on some forums as John Titor, Time Traveller:

johntitor.com

"I'm from the future. Ask me anything." It went on for weeks and weeks. He went into great detail and convinced many. Then, he vanished. To this day, many innocent web surfers still think he was from the future.
 
Well thanks very much David, I put your link over on LC and earned this......

Two posts that’s all I got in and I’m banned.

I’m heartbroken.:D
 
Awesome article david. Welcome to the forum. Your article has a perfect balance of humour and good solid content. This passage sums it up perfectly, you hit a bullseye:

It's not a belief in corrupt leaders. Hell, we all believe in corrupt leaders. It's a belief in a corrupt everybody. It's driving around in a world where every single person you see out of your windshield is utterly bloodthirsty and amoral, all except for you and a few, brave friends. What could make you feel more important than that?

Absolutely.

So now the troofers are skeptical. Why shouldn't they believe him? After all, they believe someone detonated the buildings. When confronted with the insanity of their beliefs they suddenly seem capable of rationality.

Cheesewheel's posts are a good example, though. The good liars all have the same technique, which is they pepper their stories with little unexpected details. The hotel in New Jersey, etc.

A good interviewer can get around this by "tunnelling" through the story (What is the address of the six pay phones? At exactly what time did you make the calls? Wait a second... that booth is 15 minutes away on foot. How did you make the last call at that time? How did your handlers know someone else wouldn't be using the phone at that time?) You pick away at more and more specific details until the story comes apart.

The problem with trying to do that on the internet is he can pick and choose which questions he wants to answer. That's the fun of the "I'm ____, ask me anything" game. You have as much time as you need and you can always pretend you didn't see a question.
