I think Stundie nailed it with his statement "The JREF Conspiracy Forum is nothing more than Groupthink." Of course you can expect a certain amount of common ideology in this forum and the JREF forum. Where the problem comes in is when people place greater importance on group acceptance than on personal integrity. By way of example, take the collapse of WTC7. Most people familiar with controlled demolition videos of buildings, will look at the videos of the WTC7 collapse and readily agree that it looks like a controlled demolition. This doesn't concede a critical point about whether or not they think it was, just that it looks similar to one. No big deal right? When this simple, straightforward question was raised in a thread in JREF by Christopher7 (Chris Sarns), page after page of responders did nothing but avoid acknowledging the obvious. Totovader "There is nothing to the collapse of Building 7 that is similar to a CD- with the exception that "it fell down". pomeroo (Ron Wieck) "WTC 7 cannot possibly be "an easily recognizable bottom up implosion," however, because demolition professionals don't recognize it as such." Pardalis "Sure a building that falls down looks like a building that falls down." CptColumbo "What it "looks" like is unimportant, what actually happened is the issue at hand." Myriad "What makes it not look like a CD is the glass. No CD is performed with window glass still in place." beachnut "just a fantasy of a few people who are 9/11 truth believers with no facts or evidence." ref "Why make it such a demolition looking demolition?! (Eventhough it doesn't look like a demolition)" Corsair 115 "What does visual simularity prove?" twinstead "It looked like CD" is a joke." pomeroo"Someone linked to a photo of a hyrax and asked if it looked like a rodent. A hyrax does look like a rodent, but its closest relative is the elephant" uk_dave "It looked like a building collapse due to internal structural failure." eeyore1954 "I suspect videos from the other side would have told a different story." Why the resistance? They value peer group acceptance more than they do the honesty of their own points of view. MM |
