It's just occured to me; most debunker sites are careful to have links available to HB sites so that the truly open-minded can double-check claims and refutations for themselves. From what I've seen, HB sites don't in general reciprocate in a similarly courteous manner.Wonder why that is??
It is, in fact, typical of people in a range of topics, such as Creationists, Anti-Vaccinationists and Kennedy Assassination Buffs. Web sites of the proponents of such theories have no links to their opponents, but their opponents will link back to them. As the BA said, it's about withholding information, the only way of making their argument look strong. In other words, it's intellectual dishonesty.
