Huh. I didn't say they're not conspiracy theorists, did I? That's putting words in my mouth I never said, in other words a strawman.
Labeling anyone and everyone as "conspiracy theorist" because they are talking about a conspiracy doesn't make them all the same, that makes as much sense as treating all humans like serial killers because Charles Manson was a human, too. Is realizing how silly that is a No True Scotsman, too? Please. To use big words, too, this is orders of magnitude below the standard of HN.
When drug dealers, who conspired to deal drugs, are busted, does that make the police "conspiracy theorists"? Why not, since they technically are? Because more often than not, that label is used to lump legitimate concerns together with kooky ones.
