11. And you believe this crap?

So, they're taking 2174 comments and extrapolating it to the entire population to prove their point?

Perhaps because their supposedly mainstream views no longer represent the majority, the anti-conspiracy commenters often displayed anger and hostility: “The research… showed that people who favoured the official account of 9/11 were generally more hostile when trying to persuade their rivals.”


I'm calling bullshit on this comment, CT'ers are usually much more angrier and more strident than rational people.
