1. I have seen too many "conspiracy theories" revealed to be CONSPIRACY FACTS
Sun Mar 22, 2015, 05:50 AM

in my own life:

Vietnam false flag attack to start the war
Nixon and Watergate
Reagan and Iran holding hostages until he was elected
Reagan and Iran/Contra
W, Powell, Rice lying us into war with Iraq
NSA and the massive Constitutional violations of all our rights

and those are just the more prominent, unrefutable ones.

So I hold that only a conspiracy theory that can be disproven by factual information from outside sources (such as the earth is flat) should be banned and treated with the contempt it deserves.

And those that can be proven, should never be labeled "theories".
