Here is my suggestion for the list: Just because it is ATM doesn't necessarily mean it is a woo-woo theory. I like to think of the two as completely unrealted. That's why the BA has an ATM board, and a PX board.

Also, the notion that the ATM proponent should understand the mainstream theory is a good one, but it goes both ways. I have seen several ATM threads where the "debunker" ignores what the ATM proponent is saying.

Also, it is unfair to characterize a person as mainstream or ATM. When it comes to the Big Bang, QM, and many other areas, I have a mainstream mindset, but I have an ATM view of MOND, Dark Matter, Dark energy, and I will never have a woo-woo mindset on anything.
