I don't want to seem like a party pooper but all this noise cluttering up this thread only provides conspiracybeliever more opportunity to miss/ignore the good questions and research those who are serious about this subject have been posting.
This guy and this topic is serious, I would like to see him answer the posts by Luke, Manny, chipmunk stew, CurtC and the others. The "fun" noise just gives him an excuse to ignore them.
Thanks.
eta: Don't get me wrong, as a SW's fan, some of the stuff is pretty funny
I think the problem is that anyone who's seen more than 1 Quicktime video knows what pixilation and digital artifacts look like, even if they don't know what they're called or how they occur. It's been explained in this thread that a digital recording will create artifacts especially, for example, on a corner of a building with bright sunlight reflected, how transferring the media and compressing it into a Quicktime movie will create artifacts, and how viewing a Quicktime movie on different monitors will pixilate and create even different artifacts, etc., etc.. Again, anyone who views youtube movies or any other movies on the web sees this, knows what it is, and could care less about but this guy STILL says, "No, it's explosions." I wonder if he gets static on his television (we old-timers call it "snow") and sees explosions all over the place. That, basically, is what pixilation and digital artifacts amount to--digital static.
It's also been pointed out how there are hundreds of videos of the second plane hitting without these artifacts, he's been asked for proof to prove his side of the theory (none came), and there's the pesky matter of the truth--that two huge airplanes flew at high speed into tall, skinny buildings, what more do you need to knock them down? It's been pointed out that IF they were real explosions they wouldn't even look like that. And above all else, why?
I think we all agree it is
FUTILE to continue arguing with this person as he is either a troll who knows full well he is yanking our chain or someone who is so mentally challenged he can't admit he was wrong or see any other explanation other than his own. (In that case I really feel sorry for him.) So, seeing the futility of the situation we turned to humor as a way to lighten the mood.
I hereby predict that IF he replys to this post it will be for one of these reasons: 1, to insult me or the site/thread in general. 2, to say once again it was clearly explosions and we are stupid for not seeing this. 3, to ignore any of the previous threads and ask once again to prove they were not explosions. 4, to ask some insane question like how can a large jetliner knock over a tall skinny building without the help of explosives? Or why did people hear an explosion when the large plane hit the building? Clearly a large plane hitting a building cannot sound like an explosion. Or 5, that we are ignoring HIS evidence and how can we be so blind? Oh, or 6, that we don't deal in facts and he does.
Seriously, I have no problem with someone believing a far-out theory. But if you have a theory, based on one single piece of evidence, and someone shows you flaws and you don't believe them, when someone shows you proof and you claim it's false, when you are shown mountains of other evidence and claim that it, too, is false, and you won't even consider for a moment that another explanation is even worthy of listening to then there comes a point where you are labled a crackpot and no one will listen to you anymore. Seriously, give, on one single point and you may, just may, gain some credibility that you are even a real person worthy of debating with. (Assuming you are not just a troll knowing full well you are inciting us just for your pleasure.)
This is why I don't join forums dedicated to people like this person. It's just no use.
