Some decorum would be nice.
Most of the people I have encountered in the 9/11 truth movement are not theorists at all. Exposing evidence that the official explanation is false is not theorising, it is, if anything, countertheorising, i.e. disproving a theory.
It is people like you who on the one hand are demanding that the evidence is assembled into an hypothesis and then on the other hand using any such hypothesis as a stick to beat people with and as a license to use the epithet 'conspiracy theorist' or as you glibly put is, CT.
Unfortunately for you, most truthers don't theorise.
Unfortunately for the truthers, those who do theorise are the only ones people like you take any notice of and by and large find themselves on the fringe of the truth movement. Once their damage is done, they normally drift into obscurity. We hear very little these days from Web Fairy, Nico Haupt, Phil Jayhan et al but their silly ideas of TV fakery, holograms and missile pods still pollute the internet and provide easy ammunition for those who wish to scoff.
It might be useful for some people to say that this group is ignored because of the polluting factors you mention, but if you take the time to read all of the 9/11 threads here at the FTMB you will find that these factors were not the mian thrust of the discussions.
Even if we dispense with the whole 'theorist' moniker, and also (for the sake of balance) don't use the 'truther' one either, we still have a problem. The problem is that we have a group of people who have yet to show evidence of intent, insomuch that it shows who ordered and who organised 9/11 as a covert action by the US.
For example, who do you think ordered 9/11? Who organised it? Do you have any evidence which demonstrates this? Was it something sanctioned by the Bush administration, or was it something that was allowed to happen by the various agencies within that administration?
