Skeptic Project

It was difficult to narrow it down to just ten, and the jaw-dropping ludicrosity of these depends mostly on context. But, here's a stab at it.

Several of our friends (Casey, Plautus Satire, etc.) are on the list.

In reverse order:

10. “In fairness chick i havent read them all thu yet… Muertos but you do know it didnt happen the way thay explained it dont ya?”
—Casey, delusional 9/11 Truther, after having expressly asked me to links of scientific peer-reviewed papers proving that controlled demolition was impossible (which I provided).

9. “I think there is a strong ‘Social Darwin’ flavor to this guy’s response, perhaps a Ayn Rand follower...”
—Roan Carratu, Zeitgeist Movement apologist, speculating on why I criticize the Zeitgeist Movement.

8. “I’ll talk to you when you join us.”
—Roan Carratu, Zeitgeist Movement apologist, at the end of a 4,000+ word rant explaining why every single criticism I have ever made about the Zeitgeist Movement is wrong.

7. “Bald assertions that these people are not alive pale in comparison to the actual people saying, yes, I am alive, and no, I didn't perform any suicide hijackings. These men are still alive.”
—Plautus Satire, in 2010, explaining why he believes the 9/11 hijackers are still alive.

6. “ok prove to me the following…how Jay-Z, Lady Gaga and the others truly aren’t slaves to the devil/illuminati/freemasons.”
—Bishop Taylor, virulently anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist.

5. “He owned the damn buildings, what else do you need to know?”
—Michael Bielawski, 9/11 conspiracy theorist, in my response to what actual evidence links Larry Silverstein to the supposed 9/11 plot. This was in response to my criticism that Silverstein saying “pull it” was not enough to accuse him of complicity.

4. “because nobody really cares any more.”
—Plautus Satire, when asked why nobody (including Truthers) has ever bothered to track down or try to interview one of the “alive” 9/11 hijackers (see #7 above).

3. “I understand your anguish, as my younger brother worked for the NSA for 31 years and has been cloned for many years.”
—Patrick Bellringer, NESARA/alien/reptoid conspiracy theorist and vicious anti-Semite, when I trolled him (via email) with an obviously fabricated story about suspecting my daughter and her husband are actually “clones” sent by evil reptilian aliens.

2. “Grow up, muertos, pull your fucking head out of your ass, comb the peanuts out of your hair and get the fuck on with your life, or this miserable excuse for it that you show in little slivers to the world of the internet. You are the delusional one here, muertos, you stupid fuck. Oh, and tell your mom I said hi the next time she comes down to the basement to do your laundry for you.”
—Plautus Satire, in a lengthy response to one of my blogs explaining how and why conspiracy theorists misunderstand the academic process.

1. “There’s way more evidence that it was an inside job than there is of the official story.” [regarding 9/11]
—Commenter on a MySpace blog, circa 2005. This person also accused me of being a paid CIA agent.

Whew! I was worried that I had made the list.

“There’s way more evidence that it was an inside job than there is of the official story.”

This one's my favorite. More evidence if you believe in pseudoscience and the ability of equipment for controlled demolition to somehow phase through drywall so you don't need to rip it up. Surely, if they were putting in bombs for that, the WTC workers would've noticed the walls were different, because the entire process of tearing up drywall, installing the stuff, putting new drywall back in, taping/mudding it, sanding it, then painting it or putting on wallpaper would be messy, time consuming and there's no way the workers wouldn't have noticed, unless all WTC employees were also complicit. This shit defies basic construction logic.

“because nobody really cares any more.”

This is another good one, as if someone could track down and interview one of the 'living' 9/11 hijackers, that'd be a REAL smoking gun. And for not caring anymore, these people sure spend a lot of time arguing about it.

“ok prove to me the following…how Jay-Z, Lady Gaga and the others truly aren’t slaves to the devil/illuminati/freemasons.”

And I think this is my third favorite, as he's asking you to prove a negative.

That said, they're all good.

Can o'worms here.

Thanks Muertos! If there are any honorable mentions, don't hesitate to post 'em!

Domokato won that thread whether you like it or not. That is not a can of worms. It is a jar of sour grapes.

Who keeps grapes in a jar until they go sour? That's just irresponsible

“I understand your anguish, as my younger brother worked for the NSA for 31 years and has been cloned for many years.”

That does it, the contest is now over.

Patrick Bellringer wins the internet.

^You do? What do you do for a living for that to be the case?

@wolfbird I go to school with a bunch of kids who think they have it all figured out.

I live in Arizona so no. Haha.
