Has it been that long that you do not remember. I dared him to come over to JREF from the SLC blog. As fun and entertaining as he (and his reincarnations) has been, I do regret ever challenging him to it.

DC;
Care to be more specific as to what Sunder said that you find "dumb". I listened to his section on the collapses, and while it was "simplified" (likely keeping his audience in mind) I fail to see what part was "dumb".
TAM
he explained how the Towers collapsed in under 10 seconds.
but they never did.
i found it dumb he has fallen for the truther lie of fast collapsing towers, when they atleast needed 18 seconds.

so you agree with Sunder from NIST, that the towers came down in only 8 and 11 seconds?
I think he was referring to the main structures of WTC1 and 2, not including the core columns. I believe times are somewhere abouts 9-14 seconds, depending on the footage used (this in itself is a problem). The columns remain standing for several seconds, giving the 18 second count.
I think his explanation of the fall of the "Structure minus the core columns" is sound.

Yeah, it has indeed been that long (scary, huh?). I totally don't remember you being the one to invite him. I just remember writing him off as another sack of hot air, then one day seeing him over here. Tell you the truth, at the time I had no idea he was hell bent on becoming as epically resistent to reality as he's shown himself to be. He honestly didn't seem to have the argumentative chops to be even a decent truther to me; BG, Swing, Jenny Sparks, all those folks seemed to be much better at it than him. Paul just seemed to be a kid who's discovered a new thing to follow and tried to hang with the adults, but failed.
In retrospect, I see now that he did indeed have the characteristics to be a die hard truther, namely the ability to ignore logic and accept being beat time and time again. Thing is, I gave too much credit to too many conspiracy addicts from back then because I felt a lot of them simply were ignorant of the reality. In late 2006, I didn't actually internalize that they were ignorant on purpose, i.e. because they actively ignored the truth. You learn a lot in 3+ years.
So, how does it feel to be the one responsible for bringing the current sock puppet record holder over?
