The problem with conspiracy theorists is that no matter what evidence you place in front of them, they will always think of something more ridiculous to support their version of events.
I could take my work colleague up on an edge of space flight to prove the curvature of the earth therefore disproving his flat earth nonsense, but he'd just come back with something pathetic like the windows are concave/convex to make it appear like that.
They also have other bad habits: one being displayed on here right now - they completely ignore the awkward questions that blow a hole in their conspiracies... Wrong Direction is doing that by insisting that no-one thinks. Well, I did just that about his claim of a building being rigged with explosives, said why I think it's implausible ask if the conspiracists can give an answer and he just carries on saying no-one thinks.
The other issue is deflection. Brighton fella is doing it with his Jimmy Savile comment...I believe in X conspiracy because a totally unrelated conspiracy Y. And Brighton fella/Chippy nick 1 is doing it with his comments about the Pentagon when he was asked about the Twin Towers. I know that I won't get a straight answer to a straight question, it's just not in them to do that but it is rather funny watching the grandiose comments as they deflect further and further.
