A reason others may refer to conspiracy theory supporters as "crackpots" could be attributed to the fact that there's now so many wild theories out there (UFOs, aliens, 9/11 inside job, etc). So if you support a few, then you'd be more likely to be considered a crackpot.

In other words, while those two examples were true, many are likely not.

Just because you see them all presented as equals on /r/conspiracy doesn't mean that every conspiracy researcher considers them all equal.

I hope everyone here can internalize that. We need engineers in these communities.
