So did Kevin Ryan and many others for not conforming to the "rule". So what? he gets fired so that means he is wrong? No wonder both parties can't come to a consensus with logic like that. Stop your bantering already, put up or shut up

What would a sculptor be doing with nano-thermite? How would a sculptor have access to military grade thermite?
What independent lab would you like to see test these samples? Would these independent labs be investigated to make sure there was absolutely no connection to any parties accused of foul play in 9/11?edit on 28-12-2010 by OptimistPrime because: none

You said they weren't independent because they were "conspiracy theorists" and went on a rant about how Steven Jones has some agenda to make money from AE911, which was when I asked if you could prove he's even make a cent from that organization.
Ahh, so no luck on the quote I take it. Please stop posting things I said that I did not say. Thank you.
And we already know that Jones believed fully that them*te was what he thought brought down the towers, he said so in public years earlier. He has a stake in the conspiracy and do A&E who get their money it as well.
And again I ask, are you trying to suggest any science other than the purely accidental is illegitimate?
WUT? I'm not suggesting anything, I say what I mean, sorry if it's escaping you.
Once again read the above post. Jones is NOT an independent in this matter, he staked his reputation, and ruined it actually making biased claims before any "tests" on any "samples" were ever done.

Jones proving himself to you or any other truster is like Columbus sailing back with a native American in full headdress to present to the flat-earthers. The evidence is staring you in the face yet you refuse to accept it. As for redefining independent, no I did not, just applied the definition you so generously gave earlier in the thread. You are the one that is redefining a word, and that word is ignorance. It must be bliss, huh?

Now I'll admit I couldn't make total sense of this because of the grammar or some typo or something, but this was in response to me asking why Jones wasn't "independent" in your view before.
You're trying to say Jones et al aren't independent scientists because:
1) Jones suspected thermite was used before he did his study, which btw is why he did it in the first place (and thus my question -- do you consider only purely accidental discoveries legitimate? The rest of the scientific community does not harbor that limitation).
So... according to you, Jones and his colleagues aren't independent scientists because (a) he already believed there was thermite in the buildings, so obviously he was a "conspiracy theorist" and thus automatically stupid and can't be trusted, and (b) he's apparently after AE911's money.

So are now going to retract your claim?

Oops, my bad, didn't review it well enough, but there ya go, the corrections are in bold.

Partially, you are getting closer here. He was fully committed to the truth movement and his claims at that point, to such an extreme he ruined his own career.
If we are to believe these claims, it should be handled by a neutral party of independent scientists. Had verifiable samples been sent to such a lab instead of himself attempting to do the work, then it's quite possible the results would carry quite a bit more weight in the non-truther community.

You added the stupid part, but yes those of us who don't buy into the truther mantra do not trust him or his findings.
