Roth's reaction to criticism seems quite common and ordinary to me, after having watched academics, authors, colleagues, family members, and otherwise seemingly reasonable people (including on this website and elsewhere) respond in similar ways: anger, insults, juvenile tactics, calling people "disinformation agents", etc,; when their ideas were questioned.
There must be a common medical term for this. If not, might I suggest "Anapyhlactic Critique-osis", a condition where even a small amount of criticism produces a violent and disproportionate reaction.
Let me say this about the underlying dispute here: Roth's scenario, despite a couple of flaws, seems to me eminently more probable than Fetzer's hologram idea. As far as the specific critical points raised by Fetzer, perhaps he (or "Dennis") could explain why it is impossible for a flight termination system (not necessarily an FAA-approved flight termination system) to disable radio communications. Or why it is impossible for a flight termination system to be "hacked" into disabling the radio. Or why it is impossible that normal radio communications systems on these planes simply had been disabled before the flights took place.
If we're going to visualize unknown technology, another scenario that seems to have been overlooked by both Roth and Fetzer is the idea that, just perhaps, technology that allowed cell phones to work that day at altitude was in play for the specific purpose of memorializing the passengers' last words. Seems easier to accomplish than space based disintegration beams or holograms that cast shadows and reflect off transparent air.
Edit: I do not mean to imply that Fetzer proposes death beams
