I'm going to borrow some attention from our monthly Stundie awards and introduce a small competition. I hereby present the first annual Argue like a Conspiracy Theorist weekend.
During Friday through Sunday, Skeptics are invited to level the playing field in their discussions with various woos and CTs. Arguing like a Conspiracy Theorist involves shameless use of logical fallacies, reckless disregard from reality and outright lying. Any or all posts you make during the weekend can be ACT posts if you want.
In order to avoid causing your fellow skeptics to wonder if you recently had your brain infected with a particularly nasty parasite, make sure to label your post with the word Act (us capital letters as you please). The word should also link back to this thread. How clearly you label your posts is only restricted by your sense of shame.
During the weekend, if you spot an Act post that you find especially funny or thoughtful, or that captures the arguing style of a conspiracy theorist especially well, feel free to nominate it here, complete with a link to the post in question. After the weekend ends, the firstannual Observed Strict Commitment to Art Reward will be presented to the best ACTor, as chosen by a committee (of one).
Do you have what it takes to be an ACTor?
