You are perfectly entitled to whatever views or beliefs you have, I am not personally attacking you, I am attacking some of the premises of what conspiracy theories are based on, I don't understand why your so personally offended by that.
Also, a lot of these theories make fantastical claims, if you can't stand fairly mild criticism of that, then I don't know how you handle a more in-depth rational critique of them. If you believe in these things, then thats fine, but don't expect other people not to make fun of them, or take them and these fantastical claims seriously, just because that offends you personally for some reason, because you identify yourself with that. That sort of argument doesn't stand up in court you know.
For instance, many many people here deny climate change, it works me up, I get annoyed and all of that, I argue with them, but I don't take it personally, I am not attacking you as a person, you need to seperate out your beliefs from your person, they are not the same thing.
If you think thats bad, you should try getting a scientific paper peer reviewed, now that is a bruising experience.
