Something needs to be done about the conspiracy theories forum

No, how did you get that from what I said?

I'm saying that people with different base beliefs think differently and start from different assumptions than others.

Well no because some of the exact same topics like "contradicting medical science" as someone put it are discussed in the COVID forum without incident.

King Mob etc would be banned from that the forum if they tried the same thread-jacking routines.

The standards applied across boards should also be applied to the CT forum, which is a troll sanctuary. Release the trolls back into the wild.

Yes ... You said you couldn't answer it because I don't understand what freefall is .... By doing so avoiding my simple question.

I think you are uncapable of answering my question directly because you don't have a clue yourself, You then deflect to make it my problem.

Its a well known tactic by you

Another one of your gems is this one .... a question is being asked ... you reply with 5 more and a few posts later you refuse to answer the initial or follow up question because not all of your own questions are answered to your satisfaction.

And this is not attacking a poster per se ... Its just an example as to how discussions are ruined in the forum

Drives people mad that you cant "block and move on" here. They actually have to be accountable, answer questions, qualify opinions, proper debate. Shocking!

This is one of the most pathetic and cowardly requests Ive ever seen. Seems theyve maxed out with Facebook comments as about the level of intellectual debate theyre capable of.

We're coming back to normal ish now, people back in the office and some of this conspiraloons just cant accept it. Cant accept that theyve wasted 18 months of their lives on this utter crap, losing friends and family along the way.

Time to eat some humble pie people! Accept and move on.

Im not defending anyone.

I just dont like the pile on from the usual suspects when someone posts anything you lot dont agree with ...

Bye.

It isn't the case that they disagreed with what was posted. It was objectively wrong. Facts trump opinions.

You must be joking? The ignorance is at a farcical level at this stage. It literally answers this question in post 1. 😆

One thing that's constantly brought up here is how people are "running away" and "avoiding questions". As another poster mentioned above - people have a life outside of boards. The expectation is that if you haven't responded within half an hour then the OP deserves to be abused and sneered at for two pages. Then when the OP does come back - sees two pages of the usual abuse and rightfully closes their laptop and moves on with their life. If they make the mistake of responding to any of the trolling they get further abuse for "Not answering questions!!!". Rinse/Repeat over and over.

Would you agree with using the template provided for CT threads?

I ask you because most of your threads have little to no content to discuss and fall at the very first hurdle and essentially go "This thing", "Everyone must agree". It's a huge pity, because while you are definitely on the far side of the plausibility of CT line (and other posters who post their theories would see your threads as being too implausible to even have a discussion), it can certainly be interesting to have a debate and work through the evidence piece by piece, but, for whatever reason, you won't post what you really think and have numerous threads on why a conspiracy theory should be believed without providing a coherent theory on any of your own threads, this drags the entire forum down.

I do generally "stay nice" and look for where we can have a starting point for a theory, and other posters, to be fair to them do that, but you don't. Even magnetic vaccine person tried to provide some evidence (even if they couldn't discern what giving everyone the powers of magneto would be used for).

Even from a debating perspective, if I had to prove "space is fake" I would be able to give it a go and provide more of a theory than there is in the many posts in that thread.

There's also no crime to being wrong on the internet, your starting position does not need to be your ending position in a discussion.

But what if conspiracy theorists are claiming things as fact? What if they claim certain facts point to a conspiracy?

What if those facts are wrong?

Do people get to pretend that these facts are true just because "It's a theory?"

And why can't we ask conspiracy theorists to explain what they believe in more detail? Why can't we ask them why they believe it?

Theory doesn't mean "made up story".

So could you at least be direct and state if you believe that all space flights are fake?

You came onto that thread declaring that they were while engaging in all the behavoiur that is being falsely accused to other people as well as the behavoiur other people have been pointing out about conspiracy theorists

It would be very hypocritical for you to have done all this for a conspiracy theory you know is false.

But if it is true and you aren't able to just answer a simple question about your own beliefs I think that also proves the point.

Ha I hadn't heard of the "great reset" in a while thank God.

You are right about CT and I'll add CA being full of posters often new ones who start threads with open questions and no opinion of their own only to disappear.

It's similar to all the fake "woke" threads
