Begged because it was off topic and derailing the thread.

Honestly if people DON'T want to hear it anymore, there's an ignore list AND the ability to NOT open a thread and add senseless insults in it.
Or they can exercise their voice as well and voice what they think about something.

This has been discussed to death. And the thread always follows the same pattern..

I raised a concern about the first item posted just to see what the reaction would be. Would there be engagement on the topic, a real discussion, or gish gallop past... And as I figured the gish gallop just runs on sprinkled with long debunked videos with scary music and supposedly unanswered questions based on ignorance of physics etc..

Most people who are knowledgeable don't care to discuss it anymore because they've long since realized a simple principle.. you can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. And 9/11 conspiracy theories are so rife with flawed reasoning and cognitive biases that any real information or concerns gets lost in the noise.
