QuotePlenty of people that are well educated in applicable fields think so, and since you put a lot of weight upon what the well educated among the 911 truthers say, why shouldn't similar learned people be as convincing on another subject?
1. The tendency to deny, rather than doubt.
2. Double standards in the application of criticism.

Wow you included quite a few of the characteristics of a pseudoskeptic in that paragraph,
lets anylise the next one;
QuoteWhen I hear truthers claim stuff I know absolutely to be pure bullshit, I cannot help but have extreme skepticism of everything they say, especially when the bullshit of every point sounds so similar.

You're the one that has SO often made the appeal to authority - in that you put so much weight on the scientists/engineers and so on within the ranks of truthers. Since you do that for 911 truthers, why shouldn't it work for moon landing doubters?
People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I really don't want to fall for your trick and go off on a tangent but I will say as I have said to you earlier.
I have no reason to think that people have not landed on the moon. Period.
I have all the reason to think that the US government and the corporate media have been lying to us purposefully, about the events of 9/11.
The events that took place on that day have been used as an excuse for altering the world’s history and affecting all of our lives in ways we cannot even begin to imagine.
Keeping quiet or simply blowing off the serious and well founded accusations is in itself criminal.
The majority are lemmings and are too scared to stand up the opposition that has been put in place by well crafted and thought out propaganda.
You and all the deniers here have been 'brainwashed' yes i said it, brainwashed into thinking that it was plotted by some Muslims in a cave.
You are also brainwashed into thinking all Muslims with a beard and robes are terrorists and you have also been brainwashed into thinking that it is O.k. to go and murder human beings in the name of acquiring natural recourses.
The crooks have gone too far, the pnac and the crooks are in damage control mode, your army of deniers are in defensive mode, and (mainstream) truth is just around the corner.
The biggest problem will be getting the deniers to accept to themselve that they have been wrong the whole time.
The PNAC know they have been lying, NIST know they have been lying.
The power will come from you lot letting your morals allow you to accept that you have been duped and/or have been lying to yourselves...
Neil Armstrong and co. has nothing to do with it.
If you cannot argue your point without changing the subject I suggest you keep your mouth shut/ refrain from posting.

Keeping quiet or simply blowing off the serious and well founded accusations is in itself criminal.Most do not see what you see
The majority are lemmings and are too scared to stand up the opposition that has been put in place by well crafted and thought out propaganda.You can stop being that lemming anytime you wish
You and all the deniers here have been 'brainwashed' yes i said it, brainwashed into thinking that it was plotted by some Muslims in a cave.Ya, there is some brainwashing going on for sure. Looked in a mirror lately?
You are also brainwashed into thinking all Muslims with a beard and robes are terrorists and you have also been brainwashed into thinking that it is O.k. to go and murder human beings in the name of acquiring natural recourses.Who thinks that? I have not seen that on this site or in the US in general. And what natural resources have been taken? Or do you think this is a set up for the future?

You told us the same thing over a year ago. That is one big corner.

Some people are really good at shoveling bullshit.. but there are some that just show up with shovels so big.. they win by default.
