Use your critical thinking skills here people god give me a break. I've been participating on ATS for years and let me tell you something, the majority of the older and more respected members on this forum appreciate well thought out and articulate theories that are backed with a lot of cold hard facts.
Saying the in against ATS is a straw man arguement especially if you've even taken the time to investigate any of my threads

What bugs me the most is when people answer "well, ATS is a conspiracy site".
It's rare I get involved in conspiracy discussion, usually because the ideas put forward are ludicrous at best, and when people get stuck on one line of thought it is hard to convince them otherwise.
When people start making conspiracies out of tragedies such as the recent events in Boston it actually angers me, not because I don't think there could be a conspiracy, but the fact that within 5 minutes of the first limb being blown off, wild accusations are thrown about without any compassion.
ATS has evolved into more than just a conspiracy site, it is an informative, interesting and great discussion site on astronomy, sciences, current events...and yes...conspiracies...but common sense and decency can lack sometimes.
Thankfully the staff tend to do a good job.
Yeah, but isn't this a website to discuss alternative views? Everybody are entitled to an opinion, wether we agree with it or not.
But if you are trying to say that the quality of the conspiracy theories has gone down, as the quantity has gone up, okay, that makes sense.

And here's an excellent example of one those irrational people. Way to exhibit the same behavior the OP is addressing.

And here's another. Debating is healthy, but your (as well as others) knee jerk reactions aren't. Saying "false flag" to every tragedy that happens isn't debate, nor is it very healthy for that matter. Maybe you should take your own advice.

Sorry as we thought you had got the memo..
But ATS is a conspiracy website and some of what folks do is bounce ideas off of each other and attempt to find common ground.
Debate is healthy, amirite?
Now get back under the rock.
