Why? Are you finding it difficult to argue against them the normal way? You know, like, using logic and stuff?

It isn't logical 'and stuff' to point out that the sources someone is using are seriously unhinged from reality?

If the source is claiming to present original information as an original source, then it's logical to present information regarding its reliablity as a source. When it comes to AIG, it's unlikely that anyone but creationists would believe that information in the first place.

But if it's presenting information with references to other sources, and drawing conclusions based on that information, the only way to counter it would be to present other facts and/or correct the logic it uses. Simply casting general aspersions about the site would not be persuasive.

i consider it an accolade to be

unhinged from some people's overly constricted, narrow, rigid, inadequate, thoughtless, mean-spirited . . . realities.

As George Kelly demonstrated with his Role Construct Theory and grid . . .

when one's construct system is overly narrow, rigid and impermeable

OR

when one's construct system is overly broad, flexible and permeable

one will not tend to make reliable, functional, predictive assessments, hypotheses regarding reality and the reasonably near future.

Thankfully, mine has been pretty functional for these near 60 years.

I'd say your definition of "whacko" needs a lot more work than you seem to think it does. But that's not surprising.

BTW, you could go to the WEBGRID III program at the univ of Calgary on the net and throw in your relationships and 15-25 constructs and sort them and find out a lot about your constructs as well as your relationships. I'd bet you'd discover some surprises.

I'd bet that those you most hate and are most annoyed by are very close in similarity to yourself and/or one or both of your parents.

But, hey, consistency . . . and all that.

I think Gene Ray said it best:

My wisdom so antiquates known knowledge, that a psychiatrist examining my behavior, eccentric by his academic single corner knowledge, knows no course other than to judge me schizoprenic. In today's society of greed, men of word illusion are elected to lead and wise men are condemned. You must establish a Chair of Wisdom to empower Wise Men over the stupid intelligentsia, or perish.
