"It is reminiscent of the scene from Peter Pan (by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie [1860-1937]) when the faerie, Tinkerbell, swallows poison intended for Peter. Peter then gets the audience to demonstrate its belief in faeries by clapping in order to restore her to life." -John Weir

The 9/11 truth version of clapping for tinkerbell is "Clapping for LIHOP" by praising Jon Gold to show that you believe in fairy tale hijackings by "eeevil arab moozlimssss"... Every time Jon Gold threatens to quit the movement, for example, he is fishing for praise that will look like evidence that he is well-regarded and that LIHOP is a reasonable, non-racist position to take despite all the evidence against it. In the original context, people feel pressured to clap lest they be guilty of killing the good faerie Tinkerbell. In 9/11 truth, not praising Jon Gold and applauding his efforts at promoting a scenario where George Bush and Dick Cheney allowed or otherwise induced "al Qaeda" to attack America is said by some to be "divisive", the idea being to make people feel pressured to state as frequently as possible how much they appreciate "all that Jon Gold has done for this movement", even when they don't mean it. The more people in the movement are asked to "clap for Tinkerbell", the more you know that the real, mainstream truth movement is moving away from what the fake movement leaders want them to believe and promote.

UPDATE 2/1/10: It took him a while, but here he is, looking for some applause!

When I think of all of the work that made that site that shall remain nameless the most popular 9/11 Truth site on the planet, and then I look at it now... in its current condition, I get nausea.

We've been working on it for too long. The premise is a bit different than 'other sites' as it is specifically intended to positively reflect on the movement. As stated above, the veterans are all busy with other things. It's a work in progress and will continue to change after launch. As I'm involved, you can be assured that moderation will be strict and we won't be posting crap. Others involved are equally discerning.
