Debate With a 9/11 Truther

It lasted in full 7 emails. The first two emails were confirming that we were going to have a debate. This is our full debate (taking out emails and easing the format some):

His first email (my first email was really a post on his blog):
My time is very short as I am making a film at the moment, a film that I hope will answer any questions or objections you have. But I'll think about it though, I'm always up for a phone convo if this is just for your own personal curiosity.

My response:
I was hoping to have this debate via email, a continuous back and forth for years if needed. Along the way some issues will be permanently resolved, and those that are not should be placed publicly demanding answers. I'm hoping through our two side examination we can compile a list of unresolved issues for people with more means than I, possibly even you, have. I understand you have a life and so do I. An email a day, or a week, whenever we get the opportunity would be fine by me.
Besides making this public my intention is to inform as many people as possible of the unresolved issues (supporting or not supporting my side) so the public will be wiser. This is an opportunity to not only cover the truth of the event, but also teach other things such as psychology, religion, engineering, politics, ect. I am not formal in any regard, and hope we can "debate" for the truth.
Truther:
OK, well, kick things off I guess.
Me:
The September 11 attacks were a series of coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda upon the United States on September 11, 2001. (From Wikipedia).
Truther:
Even if we accept that bin Laden and gang were the masterminds of 9/11 it does not negate a slew of evidence indicating that they were allowed to succeed and had their results amplified. 9/11 very well could have been an inside and an outside job.

Me:
Your links lead to more links which lead to even more links following by another link to a source cited in a report I found to have had the citation of a report based on the JFK assassination. So lets go a direct route in bringing the information, the data, to the email. What evidence indicates they were allowed to succeed? What evidence indicated their results were amplified (presumably by a force outside of their own means)? The second link has no derivable questions of specific value as it raises no ambiguous leads only a statement of possibilities which can be found by the first two questions in this "segment". Do you accept the fact of a series of coordinated suicide attacks by Al-Qaeda on the United States on September 11, 2001?

Truther:
I'm sorry, but the more I think about this debate, the more I know I have no interest in it. You are in essence asking me to write a book. I tackle an issue here and there these days, but to tackle every detail in a possible multiple year long debate is frankly more time than I wish to devote to this cause. I have been a member of the 9/11 truth movement since 2004. I am pretty much finished after I complete my movie, absent some big developments. It's the capstone to all the research and activism I have done. Keep an eye out for it and review it if you want. I'll review your review. :)
Take care,
JM

Me:
You, sir, are unwilling to stand up for what you believe in no matter the cost. All I asked for was your time at your pace on a topic you've placed immense efforts in already. I didn't want a book, I wanted the truth. I don't play by your link to a link of a link rules that never finds the real truth and you back down. You are a coward.
