That's what roscoe seems to be missing. The thread was started, or at least taken up under the topic of why people believe in conspiracy theories, which includes people who believe in space and astronomy related conspiracy theories. Indeed it includes non-astronomy conspiracies as well, and those have been alluded to. But the thread is not discussing individual theories, or why people believe X conspiracy or Y conspiracy, but rather the phenomenon as a whole.

Maybe there's no broad reason why people are taken to conspiracies...that's certainly an opinion that has been expressed. Some of us, myself included, feel there is at least a certain underpinning based somewhere other than interest in whichever event that allows people to be more susceptible to conspiracist angles.

Roscoe seems to feel his posts are being picked on because of who he is, rather than what his posts are about. As Jim has officially stated, this [forum] is not the place to discuss any particular non-astronomy theory, and this thread is not meant for any particular theory, but as a discussion of conspiracism as a whole.
