Fair enough. I recognize that group #3 exists, and I would call such a group "the nutters". Yup -- they are out there.
However, I don't see many pure nutters on Free Republic. I see a lot of level headed people who have reasonable questions.
And I see a lot of people with their fingers in their ears just denying and denying and denying that anything could possibly be amiss. I call them "the other nutters".

Well, then I don’t think you have been paying much attention. I’ve seen quite a few of that type on the threads over the last week or so.

I don’t think anyone is denying the possibility, but just pointing out that the supposed evidence for something being amiss doesn’t add up to anything. Just because there is a possibility, doesn’t mean we should give it any credence, when there is an absence of evidence pointing to that possibility.
