I dunno. Some of the 'illuminati', 'space lizard overlords' etc believers and folks like Liederman ( ETA: Did I say Liederman? I meant Leider. I must have been thinking of two people at the same time there) are rather mind boggling.

I rather agree with the OP. There isn't much good in applying rational explanations for the behavior of the irrational.

The best we can do is tug rational people (The uninformed or uninitiated) back away from the ramblings of the irrational.

My grandmother had a simple answer for any and all errant, irrational or disruptive behavior: "So and so is just looking for attention."
