You really thinking ridiculing other's points of view is a good strategy to help you change their minds?
Change minds? When did you get the idea I was trying to do any such thing.
I guess I was expecting too much of you. So is your goal to simply shut people up if they disagree with you, by insulting them? This is Donald Trump's general strategy anyway...
When you have the physical evidence on your side...
When you can actually show that -your- side has any solid physical evidence, then we can talk about physical evidence.
When you have numbers, what you do is this: You simply present your case and its obvious to any who come across who is being an honest broker, and who is not.
What do you mean by "numbers"? Anyway, if what happened at the Pentagon was so obvious for everyone, we wouldn't be arguing about what happened almost 15 years after the event.
You rely on eye-witnesses that agree with your view point and dismiss those who do not.
All of the eye witnesses that were in an excellent vantage point and CIT was able to film all agree that the plane passed north of Columbia Pike in the cases of Paik and Morin, and north of the Citgo gas station in the case of the rest.
2- Understand why they hold their viewpoint.
We know why...
Careful candy, your arrogance is showing

...
Can't help it. Look at who I'm dealing with....
Someone who points out your flawed reasoning? I know candy, it can be rough ;-)...
Ignorance; willful or otherwise. Here is an example. Twoofers...
Apparently you've learned nothing from my attempt to show you how to discuss things with those who disagree with you.
Boy, there is nothing you can teach me on any subject, especially 9/11.
I'm really going to have to spell it out for you I guess. What I'm trying to teach you is some manners. Some simple respect for your opponent's beliefs.
3- Find information that refutes their viewpoint.
Done ad nauseum
Yes, I know the drill. candy has investigated her own beliefs and found them to be valid

.
**** off little man.
Not sure I'll ever be able to teach you some manners. I guess I can keep trying -.-...
To give an example, I believe I have gotten Faun to atleast listen to -some- of the information I've provided. His acceptance of Terry Morin's testimony regarding the flight path of the airplane approaching the Pentagon, and his acknowledgement that some of CIT's witnesses also testified shortly after 9/11 is perhaps my greatest achievement in this regard. As to you, I'm not sure you've learned anything from what I've had to say.
Haven't been paying attention.
I've noticed.
If Faun wishes to entertain him/herself by playing with you that is her/his business. I deal in facts and physical evidence.
You deal only with what you already believe is true. As Mark Twain once said:
"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so."
Interesting, I'm surprised Dylan would scale back his view to it just being a coverup instead of some in government actively being involved in 9/11. That being said, I'm not wholly surprised. Dylan never actively accused anyone in government of being involved, only suggested it could be the case with many of the issues he brought up.
I've gone over this guy with someone else (Faun perhaps), he's got more then a few skeletons in his closet, and could easily have been blackmailed into changing his mind...
I'd never heard of this truther before. It's clear he doesn't know what he's talking about. In the article above he states:
**
There are no facts in the 9/11 Truth Movement. Just a lot of theories, which eventually break down to "hey, we're just asking questions" if someone questions the validity of such. No structural, civil, or any engineers agree with the truthers. Yet, most of my friends will try to explain the hard physics involved in structural collapses. None of these people are engineers, physicists, or even in a scientific field, for that matter. Someone's supposed to take their word over an expert's?**
He wrote that article in 2008, but even then, I believe that Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth had started up. Currently, they have over 2,500 architects and engineers who are demanding a new investigation into 9/11:
AE911Truth Petition Signers
As for physicists, Steven Jones, a well known physicist, presented evidence against the official story 3 years before 2008:
**On September 22, 2005 Jones presented his views on the
collapse of the World Trade Center towers and
World Trade Center 7 at a BYU seminar attended by approximately 60 people. **

Right now, all I see is 3, 2 of whom I'd never even heard of before they became OCT believers.
There are no new investigations,
I think we should examine the word 'investigation' for a second here. Google defines it as:
"the action of investigating something or someone; formal or systematic examination or research."
Now, what we do in forums may not be considered an investigation per se, since it may not be formal or systematic, but we are certainly examining evidence, and researching the subject. Clearly we don't have subpoena powers, or anything like that, but when we aren't too busy insulting each other, some of us here are in fact furthering our knowledge of what happened on 9/11.
nobody is donating money to the "causes",
Perhaps not to the "causes", but perhaps to some very valid causes
