(10,778 posts)... if it might lure some new blood into the cult. Like the stereotypical conspiracy huckster, Stone wasn't "raising questions": he was asserting "answers" that he pulled straight out of his ass. If you can't make a case without resorting to bullshit, then that ought to be a clue, but you're okay with the fact that a lot of people thought that bullshit was some kind of documentary. But then you hypocritically complain about bullshit in the media? On what basis? Obviously, it's not an aversion to bullshit per se.
Sorry, but I believe bullshit is bullshit, regardless of the source, and bullshit never did anyone any good. If that makes me an enemy of conspiracists and ghost hunters, I can live with that.
Here's what I find really annoying about conspiracists: On the one hand, we have to put up with their self-righteous pretense that they are oh so much more concerned about seeking the truth than we "sheeple", but then they prove over and over that if truth interferes with foisting their delusions on others, they have no use for it.
