Yes it is natural. Just look at this thread. A "descendant by adoption" of predecessors on RDNet BUT the "truthers" are setting the agenda here. The only discussion is about bits of incomplete "truther" claims lacking any support or rational fit to context.
Why?
Easy! there is no real discussion still to be had. The "big questions" answered long ago. "no demolition" at WTC; "it was that plane" at Pentagon and "it wasn't shot down" at Shanksville. So we see interminable discussion of "was there thermXte on ground zero?" BUT do we ever get discussion of my multiple times stated rejoiner "I don't care if there was a ten tonne cache of thermXte on site - it wasn't used" No way!
Why "No Way"?
Because to answer it requires a plausible pro-demolition hypothesis and there aint no such animule. Alternatively we get YouTube videos with no claim or clarification as to what reason the member has for posting the links. Still no real discussion.
And mutual abuse tends to flourish in that environment.
