Note to self: Plan exit strategy

tng | 2007-02-25 16:00

Just a brief note to thank everyone who participated in today's open skypecast discussion on 9-11 and conspiracism. That was seriously one hell of a lot of fun! Moriarty, procrastinate later, Caution and myself defended the skeptical viewpoint (successfully I think) while new NG member Paula credibly (and politely) represented the questions raised by the 9-11 Truth movement. Thanks Paula for giving us four hardcore skeptics some stimulating conversation. In between we had several other representatives of the conspiracist arguments whom I wish had hung on but sadly dropped out of the conversation and even one person who just sat back and listened to the whole sordid affair. All things considered, for our first run at doing this sort of thing, I thought it went really well (even if I wasn't quite sure how to wind it up after an hour and a half) and a good time was had by all. I definitely want to do another skypecast discussion, perhaps in about 1 month.

procrastinate later | 2007-02-25 16:24 |  Very much enjoyed

I look forward to the next installment. Smiling




Caution | 2007-02-25 19:23 |  Looking forward to the next one.

I thought you did fine ending the chat. There really is no graceful way to do it. I hope that it was clear to Paula that when I referred to "right-wing lunatics" (or something to that effect) that I was referring specifically to the anti-semitic elements within the "9/11 Truth Movement" rather than those within that community who are simply honestly looking for answers (as you so clearly were).




Moriarty | 2007-02-26 08:31 |  I thought it went very well.

Well done TNG.

 What next? More on conspiracies? Or maybe something about faith-based science, creationism, Intelligent design?
