Why do some people seem to exist in order to "refute conspiracy theories"?

This Forum should be about the fact that 3000 people on 9/11 were murdered by the al Qaeda terrorists and why these attacks were allowed to take place when the CIA and FBI HQ had known about Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, two of the al Qaeda terrorists on AA 77, since January 2000, knew they had taken part in the planning of the Cole bombing, knew on August 22, 2001 that both were inside of the US and even knew they were here to take part in a massive al Qaeda attack that would kill thousands of Americans.

Instead of raising the alarm to make sure these attacks were prevented the CIA and FBI HQ not only kept this information a secret from the FBI criminal investigators on the Cole bombing, but when these FBI investigators accidentally found out that these long time la Qaeda terrorists were inside of the US, and even knew they were here to take part in a horrific al Qaeda attack, FBI HQ agents, who had been working with the CIA, shut down their investigation of Mihdhar and Hazmi, condemning almost 3000 people to be murdered on 9/11.

But the tragedy of this forum is instead of being a serious discussion of these issues in a civilized manner, several of the posters on this forum post very demeaning and for lack of a better word, very snarky posts, with very obvious personal attacks and ad-hominem commentary. For whatever reasons, and acknowledging that moderating this forum is a difficult task, many of these personal attacks and ad-hominem commentary in particular questioning the motives of posters seems to remain unfiltered.

The issues of why these attacks were allowed to happen when so much was already known about several of the hijackers is too important to not be discussed and answers found to these questions. It is unfortunate that this forum has become something less than what it could have become to have had substantial discussions of these issues so the DU members could have had a better understanding of these very important issues.
