Truthers, what if WTC7 didn't catch fire?

[dc1971]

WTC7 came down just as many controlled demolitions do. Most of the buildings I've seen destroyed by fire have staggered or only partial collapses, and over a much longer period of time. WTC7 came right down all at once. There seemed to be little to no resistance, either. As if all the support columns bearing the building's weight gave out at once. I realize that's inconvenient for you, but facts are facts.

"But, but, but NIST says it ain't so and the government wouldn't lie to us!"

Ha, ha, ha!

There is no engaging in rational discussion with you, you are here to troll and push people's buttons! It's like you never graduated from Kindergarten!

You are on ignore, little troll!

 

[Sword_Of_Truth]

I don't know.

Why?

It was fire.

A really big one.

Ask the firefighters.

Can we stop quoting this creature please? I'm afraid I'll get contact retarded.

Seriously...why have you all allowed yourself to be continously looped in circles by this obvious and blatant troll? He's presented nothing. He's admitted to trying to "get government truthers running in circles". Just freaking stop and ignore him. It will go nowhere, and no matter how much you think you're ridiculing and putting him in his place, he doesn't care and is just going to continue.

Don't rely on NIST and the government, then. Rely on the FDNY who reported fires on almost every floor and knew the tower would collapse due to structural failure a full two hours before it collapsed.

I believe it was ergo or kreel in the 'pull it' thread who stated the north tower was wired so it would collapse into 7. Although, I've heard other truthers say UA93 was supposed to go into 7 before it was 'shot down' after a successful passenger revolt.. so that would put to rest the idea the north tower was wired so, because, well, there would be no need to. For that story, I guess it was just a stroke of luck WTC1s demolition flew a giant chunk of skyscraper into 7.

Of course ergo, who holds the completely unfounded (and heavily disproven) belief that there were massive bomb blasts in 7's lobby prior to either tower collapsing, barely recognises the collapse of the north tower having anything to do with fires/collapse of building 7.

To be honest, before the OP can ask such a question, we should really ask if we can get a definitive, all agreed narrative of what happened, rather than each truther holding their individual beliefs of what they think must have taken place.. Then we can start asking about specifics.

Aw, but it's so much fun watching them contradict each other!

we are long overdue for a realistic way of managing trolling.

...and agreement on the rationale of "Make no response -- don't feed their egos."

Whatever "fun" there is in responding the resulting ego feed to the troll outweighs the "fun" benefit.

I doubt that he holds that belief. Rather his primary goal is trolling and will state anything provided it:
1) Irritates people into responding; and/or
2) Makes sure that discussion circles and doesn't progress.

I think he sincerely believed it. During the 'pull it' thread he defended it black and blue until we had explained and proved him wrong from every possible angle. He eventually just stop replying and ignored we existed (signaling to me that he knew he'd been proven wrong). A troll would just continue to claim they were correct and complete ignore all evidence provided *SCH*

I understand that. Ergo switches modes. Pure troll most of the time but on occasions he becomes genuinely interested in the topic, switches intio "genuine discussion" mode and some genuine debate follows. It is usually quite obvious when he switches out of troll mode. C7 behaves similarly but he puts a lot more effort into the pretended "sciency stuff". And occasionally lets slip that he is being genuine. Too much of the "on topic" stuff for it to be entirely a "poe" or other form of clever trolling strategy.

 

[000063]

Yeah, that's one of the things that bugs me about him. He's clearly a very intelligent person who nonetheless decides to stick his fingers in his ears and go "la la can't hear you!" most of the time.

I have him on ignore! But it does no good when he's quoted every passage.
