Instead of making ad hominem attacks, which are the last resort of those who have lost the argument in a debate, how about addressing the SCIENCE of the issue? After all, that is what ATS is supposed to be about, not "stonings" and personal attacks intended to evade the real questions raised by 9/11 researchers.

I don't know - it is hard to resist what you call ad hominem attacks when the lion's share of the argument is an appeal to authority. If you propose and argument that is basically unfounded in anything resembling facts and then post resumes to back it up you have no choice but to address the resumes.
Also, there is neither and issue here or anything that resembles science. Someone posts a graph that they clipped off the internet and fudge some numbers on it isn't exactly science. The only thing you get when you question the arts and crafts presentation is some kind of silly appeal "well look at all the experts that agree with me". Then the even sillier argument that every "expert" in the world agrees with the argument because they either signed up at some website, or agree because there is no "counter" website to join.
And then the constant spam for some other website.

(I start this thread because I'm tired of the off topic replies found in others due to the fact some people cannot debate the topic. So you now all have a Rob Balsamo bash thread)

It doesn't matter if Balsamo is being serious, or whether he's a nutjob, or whether he's running a con game trying to sucker gullible people out of their money. His true motives aren't my concern. The fact is, there were plenty of eyewitnesses in the Pentagon area who specifically saw that it was a passenger jet that hit the thing, so the moment Rob Balsamo attempts to suggest anything to the contrary of what the eyewitnesses all agree on then he is necessarily wrong.
Yeah, it's one thing to insist the JFK assassination was a conspiracy, but it's another thing entirely to insist the Zapruder film and all the eyewitnesses in Dallas are all lying and that JFK was really killed by a bomb. Two plus two still equals four regardless of whatever impressive credentials a mathmatician may have who insists it's really five.
Religiously grasping onto his theories simply becuase his theories happen to agree with what you yourself want to believe doesn't help his credibility. It only hurts your credibility.
