I'm a licensed PE ... do I have to join AE911 to get a vote and risk my rep with colleagues who all know that 9/11 truth is a farce? ... I make my living these days as a 558 consultant and don't need my name associated with cranks and booksellers ...
Why are you asking me a silly and loaded question? No one is making you do anything. Many who don't believe the OCT don't sign because ignorant people believe that those who don't believe the OCT and want a legitimate investigation into 9/11 are "nutcases" and that anything other than the OCT is a "farce". If they're protecting their career and livelihood, I can't blame them. If not, they are cowards, plain and simple. So then I suggest you don't associate Shinebox with "cranks" and booksellers. I take it you haven't purchased a book in many years then? (it would associate you with a bookseller)
During the Nixon administration, the question was raised "Would YOU buy a used car from this man?" OK, Please look at the following video and ask yourself, do you really trust these guys? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtRlOVymmz8
So, you cannot disprove the claims so you resort to insulting the institution. How predictable, but you're late to party.
No, this is different from simply insulting the NIST, What I'm asking people to do is to check the speech patterns, body language ( etc.. ) in this presentation by the NIST and ask yourself, do you trust these people(?) Obviously YOU trust them totally, OK .... I get it, however for any other readers of this forum, they are free to view evidence and form their own interpretations.
Note that professionals ( notably Shrinks and cops ) use applied psychology all the time to detect if a patent or suspect is really a dangerous lunatic or?
