Welcome but it is important to be clear. Metabunk views mocking (regardless of how slight or humorous it may appear) to be impolite and therefore in violation of the Posting Guidelines.

I understand that clearly as to listening to the audio book. Please note that my postings here wouldn't be of a mocking nature but to listen honestly and corroborate information towards discussion.

Hello! I used to lurk here frequently and decided to make an account finally. I want to come here because I feel at times I’m surrounded by nothing but fearmongering and extremism that I need a place where I can get through it all, ya know?

Hello! New here as well. I am new to the conspiracy theory world, after being introduced by a family member who seems to have gone down the rabbit hole. As per Mick’s book, I’m trying to get myself as informed as possible so I can discuss from a place of understanding. Gotta admit, it’s tough at times though! .

Aside from learning, I’m into gardening, yoga and true crime/detective work/investigative journalism - always on the hunt for the truth!

Hello, first post; I'm a research scientist actively researching earthquake light. In excess of 150 published papers but only a handful on the subject

Hello Mick and all. I'm 47, go on paranormal investigations as a hobby and am just as interested in paranormal phenomena being debunked as proven. I've just linked to this site from the Foteana Forum and am looking forward to reading about other subjects here as well.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist (believer or debunker) but am very much enjoying the 'Through the 'Rabbit Hole' podcast. I have, in my past, had an experience that makes me a very interested observer but what I'm enjoying is hearing people argue their cases. Passion, in almost any context, is a beautiful thing. Peace.

Hello everybody, I am from The Netherlands. I just read an article in the Dutch newspaper 'de Volkskrant' about a new magazine published by complot theorists. One of the leading figures of this magazine - called "Gezond Verstand" ("Common Sense") - is a formerly highly respected journalist of another Dutch quality paper. In the Volkskrant this Metabunk.org was mentioned, as was Mr. West. I'm interesed in ways to cope with the way complot theorists communicate.

Goodday I am an 74 year old individual, haven lived and travelled in many countries in the world with special focus and interest in the Far and Middle East. I am very disappoined with the way the general public accepts what is told them by the mainstream Media. In my humble opinion this is the result of little knowledge of different languages (education) and the unableness to read publications in such languages. My favourite writers are Philip Roth and Mahbubani

I found my way to this website through Mick’s book, Escaping the Rabbit Hole. I began taking a special interest in debunking conspiracy theories when I lost a friend to a rabbit hole.
Really enjoying Mick’s book!

Hi all, I’m Bex and am currently reading Escaping the Rabbit hole, which I am sure is where many here first heard about the site.

I’m impulsive and easily irritated seeing supposedly intelligent people, fall further and further down the CT rabbit hole and not accept any of the articles I or others have tried showing them, out of the goodness of our hearts.

One person in particular, that I consider/ed a friend, has gone full Q and anti mask, which I find particularly upsetting, considering I have people close to me who have been affected by c19 and one even died.

i started off offering articles and I am now at a point where I am just infuriated at the arrogance, of the people posting all these conspiracies.

i am also annoyed with myself, because I feel like I am on the opposite side, feeling just as self righteous and arrogant, about being able to separate facts from fiction, with a little digging around online.

Anyway, I hope to find some easier ways to help people I know.
Those that are pushing far right rubbish, are not worth my time though.
