[QUOTE="iluvatar5150, post: 74854759, member: 313046"] The ability of these crackpots, cranks, and professional charlatans to spread their dishonest messages often relies (at least in part) on the inability of their fanbase to verify the messages they're spreading. Conspiracies about the media or government or academia or the gays or <insert evil group here> can more easily take root when the audience doesn't know anybody in media, government, academia, etc and it's often the case that these audience members take a more gentle nuanced tone regarding subjects into which they do have some personal experience and visibility. It's my hope that the ubiquity of this virus will provide enough visibility to enough people that the fanbase of these hucksters is eroded and that they're exposed for the frauds that they are.
