Possibly one or two people at a time could act as designated "inquisitors" to pose questions that conspiracy proponents would be required either to answer, or to affirmatively admit that they could not answer, in a timely manner.

It may be hard to implment, but I like that idea. Many of us have asked the same questions over and over, some worded slightly differently. Having a few people condense down all the questions into a single post would probably make the pro conspiracy person feel less besieged, as well as make it easier for the rest of us to follow along.
As far as problems with implementing this, where would the questions be asked? If it's in the regular thread, it would be pretty much the same sitution we have now. Having the questions PMed to the "inquisitors" (maybe not the best term) will probably end up making more work for those people, who would then be obliged to ride out the thread for the duration, or hand it off in some fashion. Still, I think the idea has a good deal of merit.
