394. I think this is a bad idea.
Alerting on someone who posts a kooky <insert adjective here> conspiracy theory.

We are letting the tail wag the dog, here. Maybe we should form a pool to take bets on what will be the NEXT thing the MSM will take us to task for. My point being that they will ridicule us no matter what we do.

If we stopped discussing anything remotely associated with politics and turned this board exclusively into a gardening forum, the pundits and assorted wackos would find some way to spin that to show that all Dems are kooks.

Don't you see what's happening here? We are taking the bait. We are doing their bidding.

I, personally, don't think there is any so-called conspiracy theory that's beyond being discussed. That's how I learn. I need to have it all out there and sort through it.

I am saddened that we would let the likes of Faux News and the NYT determine what we discuss on this board. They must be laughing their asses off!
