sane leftists generally simply discount tankie talking points out of hand

how is this sane? tankies might well be wrong, but I don't see how they're obviously wrong. the west does lie about its enemies. a million iraqis died on a lie in our lifetimes. i'm not here to fight a court case, i just find the dismissal baffling.

Do you continue to listen aften hearing "jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams"?

as a sane person, I actually did look into it, and found that structural steel does weaken significantly at the temperature jet fuel burns at.

And, knowing that, does it seem worth your time to continue listening to people implicitly denying the existence of smithing?

If it's morbid curiosity, sure, fine, go ahead be my guest but even that will have its limits.
