So I guess there were no takers for my "conspiracy coming out tell-in" suggestion?

[Update: Graham has responded to my post below in its comments section, and I've responded to him. Now I'm off to Brainerd for a day or two... already behind schedule.]

In the last poll I saw, around 12% of Americans thought it was likely that a cruise missile hit the Pentagon, around 16% thought there might have been explosives in the Twin Towers, and 36% could fall into either the LIHOP or MIHOP categories.

So you're not exactly alone, even if I do think you're wrong. I mean, look at my beliefs: somewhere between 9% to 20% of Americans are libertarians, and only what, 5% are atheists? We're all minorities here, and differences in opinion are the most important form of diversity (outside of academia, at least).

There's no reason to be ashamed: Whatever your theory, you can't really think it's so bad that it'd whither in the light of day? Is this site, with its tiny, variously-opinionated readership, really not neutral enough ground?

(Or are you just going to keep your beliefs to yourself, because I've no right to know about things that are only in your head, separate from the marketplace of ideas? Our Bold Hero certainly has his share of ineffectual secret beliefs.)

I guess this is my last post on the subject, though I really would rather find out what you guys think here, in cold prose, and avoid either being shocked later or having one of those arguments where we're both gesturing toward sources the other person hasn't read.

Once again, if you have problems with the "official account" of 9/11 (and are not a random stranger who doesn't have a clue who I am), the comments are open to your alternate theories on how and, if you feel you're up to it, why. On the other hand, if you're a vocal skeptic who isn't willing to share a theory, would it be rude of me to suggest that in the future you perhaps... shut up?
