Well you have a new WVU poster on here posting nonsense so ludicrous that other posters read it and try to correct it. But after engaging in that futility three or four times each, they all give up. But it has now reached about 100 posts because the WVU poster continues to repeat the lunacy.
Agreed.
"Birthers," Truthers," "Faked Moon Landing", etc., etc. All of these conspiracy nuts have the same mind-set, IMO. They believe what they want to believe, despite whatever mountain of facts exist that would easily discredit their view in the mind of any sane person.
The "Truthers" are a classic case in point. They cling to the belief that the Government brought the twin towers down in some sort of controlled demolition. Forgetting for a minute the mountains upon montains of evidence that disproves their dribble and makes them look like idiots, a simple exercise in logic is all you need to see the absurdity of their view. In this instance, a planned controlled demolition of two 106 story adjoining towers plus surrounding buildings would have required thousands of people involved over many, many months in the elaborate planning and planting of charges in many specific locations in the buildings, including wiring, etc. It is a monumental task to legitimately implode a single small building - and this when the building has been gutted. One can only imaging the herculean effort to implode buildings that are fully funtional. Such an effort would have been easily observed by many, many people and it would have been impossible to cover-up.
When confronted with this logic, the "Truthers" often go to their talking points which typically involve some isolated piece of information having nothing to do with what happened. This logic is then insanely expanded to "prove" an idiotic premise (e.g.,
"if this is true...then that automatically means that this is true.....and this is true....and this is true....and this is true...etc.....etc."). Sane people understand that this is lunacy. However, conspiracy nuts, at least on the issue that they are obsessed with, are not sane, IMO.
I don't know this poster at all other than what he/she posts on here and on other boards. However, IMO, his/her train of logic on issues related to the ACC fits the pattern of the conspiracy nut. He/she has has talking points, which are easily discredited in the eyes of any sane person, yet he/she ignores the facts when they are presented and doubles down on their illogical thought process. His/her typical response is to write a litany of dribble having nothing to do with what he/she is trying to prove. IMO, any rational dialog with him/her on this issue will not be productive as he/she is incapable of considering anything that would discredit his/her view on this issue.
The poster has stated that he/she is an WVU fan. I know a number of WVU fans who are great people, including a guy who worked for me for a number of years. That said, IMO, - and strictly based on my observations - there seem to be a number of WVU fans who hold to these views re: the ACC and, frankly, I am baffled. I understand the frustration of Uconn fans given how this has played out to date. However, WVU has landed in a good place and it baffles me why so many of their fans don't just happily move on. Their continued preoccupation with the ACC is puzzling, IMO.
