It's backwards logic, starting with the assumed conclusion and then listing only the facts that support it, while ignoring all the ones that don't. That's why it's a bunk conspiracy theory.

Well, if you'd only *not* edited out the relevant parts of my post, you'd have noticed that I gave a clear explanation of what makes a conspiracy theory "bunk". It should therefore not take much noodling to conclude that theories which don't suffer these failings might "not be bunk". Kinda makes me wonder why you felt the need to demand the very explanation which I gave and you ignored the first time around. And no, I'm not going to run around listing off theories I think have merit and those I think don't. I think providing the criteria by which one can make that determination for themselves should be more than sufficient.

See.. I want you to list those you see as non-bunk, so that I can show you, using your own criteria, that they are bunk theories after all. Fiendish plan, isn't it?

It's fun watching two conspiracy theorists adamantly try to convince the other that it's the other that is the nut. Similarly contrarians, but less aliens and magic.

Seriously doing it wrong as well. You want people to think you're the nut, that way the Venusians poison our food supplies with their gamma rays everyone else will turn on each other first before trying to approach the looney guy with a shotgun.
