This was taken from this argument but first a little background.
This is just one example. There's plenty more from this guy, possibly the most annoying truther I've ever encountered.
I made this screenshot for him:

Another small example is when we talked about David Griscom.
Just thought I'd vent. If you encounter this guy, that's the kind of behaviour to expect. He will talk all high and mighty about the scientific process and facts and evidence logic and reason and that's what makes him so annoying, at least for me. So you try and argue with him, yet he then just pretends things that were said previously, weren't, without batting an eye.
In the grander scheme of things, this is the best kind of debating the truth movement have to offer.

- Sexy Melon tells me that the reviewers for the Bentham 911 paper are known.
- So, I ask him where.
- He tells me that their names are written at the top of the paper.
- I tell him that this is where the authors names are located not the reviewers.
- He admits he was wrong about the reviewers being written at the top of the paper.
- I want to nail the clueless pompous jerk to a tree so I ask him what papers have ever had the reviewers names written at the top of the paper. (NOW LOOK AT SCREENSHOT BELOW)
- He says "tons of papers" are written this way.
- I ask specifically for some examples.
- He says all the ones I had previously given on 911 including he Bazant/Zhao paper "
- I say that no versions of the Bazant paper do this and can he link to such papers
- SexyMelon then claims I was asking for papers which listed AUTHORS and suggests I should pay attention to what we're talking about.

Another small example is when we talked about David Griscom.
- It came up when he put forth David Griscom as an expert reviewer to show that the Bentham review process had a respectable expert.
- I then said he was a truther
- He then claims he became a truther because of the [Bentham] paper from Jones/Harrit he reviewed.
- I then tell him that actually Griscom was an outspoken truther long before the paper came out. (NOW LOOK AT SCREENSHOT BELOW)
- SexyMelon then switches it despite quoting me saying he was a truther long before Jones' paper to saying that he didn't support thermite prior to this.
