It is always heartwarming to hear stories of people who woke up from their delusion that 9/11 was an "inside job."
In another forum that I drop in on every now and then, a former 9/11 "truther" posted this particularly articulate and interesting view into the mindset of some of the people we encounter here at LL. What I find interesting is that he illustrates that the fact-for-fact debates were non persuasive. What changed his mind was the illustration of logical fallacies. Once one understands formal logic structure, real and fallacious arguments become clear. I have made minor edits for brevity. The link is here and text below. http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=152561 Quote:

Thank goodness reason or "creative thought" took over and saved saved this man from a life of tinfoil hat wearing stupidity. For the same reason it may be cool to be a "blind dissenter" is the same it was cool to hate opposing taught during nazi germany. Things are not a black and white as they seem.

at least he's open to logic and reason, that's what got him out of that conspiracy theory mindset. some ppl are too stubborn to change their minds, even when all logic and reason says otherwise.

If the guy is for real then he obviously feels betrayed by the truther movement, he shouldnt have taken on arguements without thinking about them first.

CT, this would have been a good post if not for the fact you work for the governments top secret disinformation sub-group-contract-committee allocated to disperse this false information arcross various networks through addressing it head on and on occassion with sublimial messages.
Seriously CT, the thing I want to know most is these "truthers' and others are so obsessed with 9-11 based on mostly false pretense, why is a guy like yourself with all the answers still intrigued by the online chatter that revolves around 9-ll
