> 1. Opposing views as paranoid idiocy

Please include under #1 the specific view I was addressing - that the WTC
was brought down secretly by the US government.
Will you do that please? And if not, why not?

> 2. Opposing views as flat earth science

Again, specifically the above view that the WTC was brought down secretly by
the US government.
Will you add that to #2 as a clarifying example, please? And if not, why
not?

> 3. Politicization of science
>
> 4. Opponents suffer psychiatric disturbance

The specific example that this was in reply to was that you suggested that
the WTC was brought down secretly by the US government.
Will you add that to #4 as a clarifying example, please? And if not, why
not?

> 5. Radicalize opposition

Please add the specific example to the list that this was addressing -
namely, that the WTC was brought down secretly by the US government. If you
do not wish to add that specifically to #5, why not?

Getting the point? (Predicted reply: “And the point is … what exactly?”)
