When people discuss 9/11, I always ask what happened to WTC building 7, and why was it pre-reported on BBC before it happened? Also why does it look like a controlled demo.
What is the motivation behind this? "Gee, I would really hate it if that conspiracy turned out to be true."

Sure, lets just let all the bs in with no filter.
So much better.

I see..
So threads like THIS one should be welcomed with open arms, yeah?
Nah.
Truth is, that Nist didn't find any evidence for "fire weakened steel" in their micr. analysis either.
NIST determined that diesel fuel did not play an important role, nor did the structural damage from the collapse of the Twin Towers or the transfer elements (trusses, girders, and cantilever overhangs). The lack of water to fight the fire was an important factor. The fires burned out of control during the afternoon, causing floor beams near column 79 to expand and push a key girder off its seat, triggering the floors to fail around column 79 on Floors 8 to 14. With a loss of lateral support across nine floors, column 79 buckled – pulling the east penthouse and nearby columns down with it. With the buckling of these critical columns, the collapse then progressed east-to-west across the core, ultimately overloading the perimeter support, which buckled between Floors 7 and 17, causing the remaining portion of the building above to fall downward as a single unit. The fires, which were fueled by office contents and burned for 7 hours, along with the lack of water, were the key reasons for the collapse.[6]:21–22 Incidentally, this made the old 7 WTC the only steel skyscraper at the time to have collapsed from fire
Make something up, declare it the truth
Office fires don't burn hot enough to collapse steel reinforced structures period.

A: Because for anything other than the official narrative to be true would shatter their world views and cause them to have a nervous breakdown.
B: Because they are paid shills.
C: Because they really are stupid.
Take your pick.
You forgot "D. Because they cannot abide the complete stupidity of many of the conspiracy theorists."
I rest my case.
