On the contrary, I dismiss all your sophistry for the worthless fluff it is and again present the original links for anyone to see and make up their own minds:
While you again fail to present any actual claims from those links.
And so it should be noted, yet again, that the only possible reason you've given up trying to present any more specific claims from those links, is because each and every claim you've previously cited was found to be utter claptrap.

Actually it was me who put Rodriguez' actual quotes in place of the paraphrases (post #470). Roberts' "fabrication" ("I do not say there were bombs in the building.") is just a paraphrase of what Rodriguez said.
As I've already told you - Roberts is
not paraphrasing what Rodriguez said.
Roberts
fabricated a quote, and
deliberately attributed it to Rodriguez.
The evidence is very clear.
Roberts significantly changes the meaning of Rodriguez' actual words. A quick comparison...
Rodriguez' actual quote: "I always talk about explosion, not bombs- since I am not an explosives expert."
Roberts' fabricated quote: "I do not say there were bombs in the building."
These two quotes do NOT mean the same thing. Roberts smears Rodriguez by fabricating a quote with an entirely different meaning.
You, on the other hand, have tried using the actual quote to support your own nonsense argument. More on that later..
QUOTE (flyingswan @ Jun 22 2008, 01:13 PM)

You yourself have resorted to paraphrasing me in quotes (eg post #787), so you can't complain if Roberts does it too.
I made it very clear that was a fictional conversation between you and Rodriguez. But Roberts didn't paraphrase Rodriguez. Roberts deliberately lied.

Just to remind those who haven't had the endurance to follow our debate on this, here is Rodruigez actual quote:
"I always talk about explosion, not bombs- since I am not an explosives expert."
and here is Rodriguez contradicting that, which makes Roberts' point:
Radio Host: "Do you believe there was a bomb in both buildings?"
WR: "Definitely. "
I can't believe your lack of basic reasoning skills. Will you ever understand that there is
no contradiction in Rodriguez' comments?
1. Rodriguez says "I always talk about explosion, not bombs- since I am not an explosives expert."
2. Rodriguez believes there were bombs in the buildings.
"I always talk about explosion, not bombs- since I am not an explosives expert" means the same thing as:
he does not believe there were bombs in the building?!?
That's your argument in a nutshell, and it's truly ridiculous.

Since you persist in this, I might add that the mod said that you were less than honest, no matter what your motive:
"Turbonium was less than honest in that case and admits it (whether as a joke or out of dishonest is something only he knows)."
"whether as a joke or out of dishonest is something only he knows". I've told you it was a joke, repeatedly.
You were told to drop the issue. Yet you've ignored the mods' requests, repeatedly...
QUOTE (flyingswan @ May 30 2008, 07:48 AM)

As I've been asked by a mod to cease this line of argument, I'll leave the last word with him:
Turbonium was less than honest in that case and admits it (whether as a joke or out of dishonest is something only he knows).
QUOTE (flyingswan @ Jun 21 2008, 07:06 AM)

I am not getting into the argument again about who manufactured quotes, because a mod has asked us not to raise the issue of your own clear manufacture of a misleading quote again.
In other words, 'I'm not going to get into ________ (re-raise an unfounded accusation), because the mod has asked us not to raise the issue again.'
Who do you think you're fooling with this infantile crap?
We were told to drop the subject. So grow up, and drop the subject. Period.
QUOTE (flyingswan @ Jun 22 2008, 01:13 PM)

You said: "His "information" includes plans, eyewitness accounts, videos, photos.....and structural pieces they collected. This "information" was used to create the computer model he cites in his paper." This implies that you think the data from collected steel was used in the creation of the model.
Not quite - this
does imply that the data from collected steel was used in the creation of the model.
QUOTE (flyingswan @ Jun 22 2008, 01:13 PM)

How about answering the question rather than ducking it? Again: Why do you need samples of steel to create a computational model of a structure? How do you think engineers create such models of buildings that are still at the design stage?
I
did answer the question. I told you -I never said that steel samples were needed to create a computer model of a structure.
QUOTE (flyingswan @ Jun 22 2008, 01:13 PM)

You once again demonstrate your talent for sophistry. Nowhere in the article is there any mention of the steel data being of any significance.
Wrong. It's the very first item of "information" mentioned by Gilsanz. He claims that this "information" led to the formation of several collapse theories. He also claims that this "information" was used to create their computer models. That certainly makes it significant.
QUOTE (flyingswan @ Jun 22 2008, 01:13 PM)

When you demonstrate some logic, I might have something to grasp. You claimed to have all the evidence you needed to show that the buildings were CDed, and at the end it just boils down to your finding a few words in an article, irrelevant to the general theme of the article, that you can twist into something you think is suspicious.
No. It just shows that it's impossible to get even the simplest concepts in logical thinking across to you, despite my repeated attempts. This is just the latest example, among many others I've previously discussed with you.
