I started off as a truther... (a very brief time) My questions brought me here. I found the answers I needed.
Why do I debunk 9/11 Conspiracies?
Because I don't want to see charlatans like Richard Gage attempt to rewrite history.

That's the biggest load of hot, steaming bs I',ve read in a long time. You wouldn't know science if it hit you in the head. Don't you read the stuff you write? The only people running around 'flailing' is you and the rest of the criminals posing as interested parties. Do you really think people are stupid enough to believe what you say?

This is somewhat parallel with me. I started off as the basic definition of a truther. I started to encounter conspiracy theorists on Youtube, and for the most part the arguments seemed to be nonsensical, but some of it made sense. I hadn't done any research into 9/11.
The real tipping point was when I first saw the video of WTC 7 collapsing. I had never even heard about it beforehand, and it made me an instant believer in the conspiracy. I couldn't think of any way it could be except demolition. Then, I did research on it, since if I was going to be a flag-bearer of the truth movement, I need to have all the facts. The more research I did, the more I realized I was being lied to by the truth movement.
The penthouse collapse was left out of the videos, which proves that the building was collapsing internally. The damage to the South side of the building was conveniently ignored, leaving out the reason for the way the building collapsed. The fire that burned for 7 hours, and the firefighters' testimonies were completely left out of the story or sugar-coated with "it was a minor fire, and they thought it would only collapse a little."
I realized then that the truth movement is just a bunch of people running around flailing with know idea what they're talking about. I'm a man of truth and of science, and I hate seeing people drowning in their own ignorance. So, I try to be the voice of reason and logic in a forum that thinks they are meant to simply accept conspiracies without question. I find it helps to correct mistruths and lies (even if the poster doesn't know it's a lie). Eventually, the general understanding is heightened, and the discussion is that much more evolved.
That's why I post. I believe everyone has the right to know the truth.

Imagine there is no debunkers. A lurker comes to the forum and sees that everybody agree that OS is a lie. Conformity is a powerful thing.

I disagree with the claims of Richard Gage and can only hope that he hasn't designed any building I enter. He is a cash hound feeding on the desires of those who want a conspiracy.

Well first, the motto of ATS is Deny Ignorance. And yet, not a day goes by that someone who does not believe that it was Osama and his merry band of murderers who did it, posts the most uninformed (ignorant) things.
Those are just a sample of the crap that gets posted again and again on ATS....normally as the latest "smoking gun" by people too lazy to do some honest research. That's why I spend time here, trying to make sure people actually research things for themselves, rather than swallowing everything that comes from Avery, Jones, Gage, Ryan, et al.....
