I'm not sure why this topic provokes so much certainty and anger. Sure we can all read the PM article and the claims of experts, but so much of the proof relies on knowledge and experience that isn't widespread. I'm sure you're more likely to be accused of looniness because of the whole woman thing. Whether that was at work here? Who knows, some commenters are just punks. I'm sorry it got frustrating. And apologies to Pr -- your post got auto-moderated because of the multiple links, not anything about the content.

That fireproofing question--was it all dislodged by the plane so completely that the steel would heat up and fail so quickly?--is one of the ones our architect had. It amazes me that some people dismiss the quite reasonable questions like that, calling the person a "loony crackpot" and similar. It also amazes me that seemingly well-educated people can't discuss and disagree without name-calling. I won't play the woman card, but I must admit, it's tempting to do so in light of the absence of such attacks on male writers, of which there are a majority at Ezra's (only one other female, Kathy G., blogged there for the first time this week during his vacation; I don't know if she's going to be a permanent addition, but I hope she is). Anyway, peace to you this Monday!
