I strongly agree with KenG. These "armchair physicists" already tend to be quite emotional and abrasive in thier rhetoric. Such emotional oubursts degrade one's logical foundation. Crackpots will be with us forever, and we have to get used to it. There's no need to play thier game of irrational name-calling when you have logic going for you.
Also, one of the best ways to quickly identify a "crackpot" is by noting the emotional nature of the text.

I'm no trekkie, but I often imagine how Spock would handle the subject. Also, remember that a stopped clock is right twice a day!
