Woo Shaming

Definition: The justifiable ridicule of those so ignorant of how the Universe really works, that they subscribe to nonsense such as homeopathy and crystal power.

Example: There are some things that are so patently absurd as to be unworthy of arguing against; those who believe in these things are lost beyond redemption, and the only thing left to do is engage in woo shaming.

New Group Proposal: Underground Mingle. Or Progressive Mingle. Or DUharmony. Or DUcupid.

Or DemFriendFinder. Or PlentyOfDems.

Hell, if it takes-off, Skinner may even have a new, multimillion dollar enterprise to run.
