[QUOTE="Btodd, post: 43043192, member: 14939"] On a personal level, I've learned a great deal about that day because of it......but that doesn't mean that having public debates with Truthers is a good idea, necessarily. I'm thinking in societal terms more than personal ones. Are we helping them by debating them? I'm saying that without the public debate, they have nothing to hope for. Nobody is putting forth any evidence that will change where we stood 5 years ago, and since swaying public perception is their only goal, even if you 'win' the debate, you lose in the grand scheme of things. They just need you to keep answering questions. At least, I think that might be the case. The best they seem to aspire to is to be doing this same internet debate 4 years from now, and I'm wondering if we're simply playing the fool by creating the perception of a controversy instead of dismissing it as nonsense.
