Do you feel that widely discredited conspiracy theories should be given any play on Fluther? Why, or why not?

In my brief time here I have seen Holocaust denial, assertions of paranormal activity, and much other nonsense. Now we are seeing a recrudescence of 9/11 “Truther” conspiracies on Fluther, where government agents apparently managed to kill 3,000 Americans in deliberate explosions while somehow making it appear that phantom airplanes commandeered by phantom hijackers did the dirty work.

I’m curious as to your feelings about the psychodynamics of these sort of questions which garner what I think is disproportionate attention, considering their fundamental lack of cogency.

Are these discussions like train wrecks, from which it is difficult to look away? Do they perform any service at all? wouldn’t we be better off consigning this type of empty, irresolvable, meaningless conversation to the chat room with the rest of the drivel? Or are they legitimate, meaningful debates which expand our knowledge and contribute to our community?
