[edit] Unencyclopedic epigraphs
Great epigraphs but as hatnotes hardly encyclopedic. They might have a place within the main text, but not as epigraphs. RationalWiki does not publish common essays. 189.180.35.180 (talk) 05:17, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
- It doesn't? Then why do we have an essayspace? 141.134.75.236 (talk) 05:24, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
[edit] No one speaks out?

[edit] Fun new theory
Has anyone come across the idea that not only were the Moon landings faked, but that the Moon itself is nothing but a hologram? Someone would have a lot of fun with that one.... Search for "moon hologram" and prepare to lose a little faith in humanity. Jwebb (talk) 11:20, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
- Yup, and there's a rather hilarious debunking of it in the YouTube video World of Batshit - #2: Moon Loons (episode 1 is about those who think that air planes are sky demons, while episode 3 deals with chemtrailers). ScepticWombat (talk) 15:01, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
[edit] Did you know?
The word conspiracy is a portmanteau of "cons" (confidence scams or conservatives) and "piracy" (hijacking or looting). You're welcome. - Frankie (talk) 17:55, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
[edit] More reasons against
The 'resend/send all/retweet/wrong email account selected'/things left on a bus and similar Murphy's Law opportunities for material to escape.
The 'The buck does not stop with Muggins here' argument (collecting material to show who #was# responsible); wannabe detectives (not necessarily being conspiracists) collecting information and discovering the conspiracy.
Supermac's 'Events, dear boy, events' - things derail the conspiracy ('putting a mole in the CP of the USSR in April 1991').
Falling outs among conspirators (having different agendas).
