Ach, this sort of thing has been going on forever. The only difference now is that they're ranting in cyberspace and not in the street (or, in some cases, as well as the street). Once in a while one of them strikes it lucky and founds a major world religion, but apart from that they're not doing anyone any harm.

BLOOD & THUNDER PROPHET: ...And the bezan shall be huge and black, and the eyes thereof red with the blood of living creatures, and the whore of Babylon shall ride forth on a three-headed serpent, and throughout the lands, there shall be a great rubbing of parts. Yeeah...

FALSE PROPHET: ...For the demon shall bear a nine-bladed sword. Nine-bladed! Not two or five or seven, but nine, which he will wield on all wretched sinners, sinners just like you, sir, there, and the horns shall be on the head, with which he will...

BORING PROPHET: ...Obadiah, his servants. There shall, in that time, be rumours of things going astray, erm, and there shall be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things wi– with the sort of raffia work base that has an attachment. At this time, a friend shall lose his friend's hammer and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before, about eight o'clock.

I like the boring profit. Lets make it so mind bendingly vague that chances are it happens some where on planet earth roughly once a week.

All it takes to be recognized as a loon is:

-A completely deranged theory that defies rational thought, ignores scientific findings to the contrary, and makes a lot of folks say "WTF are you going on about?" Except for those poor souls that are just as nuts as you, or simply don't know any better; they'll likely agree, and add credibility to your deranged theory. See "Intelligent Design" and "Scientology".
-A computer and web connection, to spread your deranged theory far and wide. (Optional)
-A tinfoil helmet. This leaves little doubt that you've reached a state of alternate reality, and have "seen the truth about the way the world works." (Optional)

You are all only taking to these particular points of view because none of you routinely wears a protective tin foil hat.

I know that, I can see it.

Just to be sure: This is tongue-in-cheek. A bit. I think.

If you were wearing your tin foil hat properly, you would know.

Ha! Verily and lo, you shall see the hour of the edible prophet.

It is coming! And many here have seen the holy texts of the false apostle, ModeratorTeam, who wants to lead you to your doom!

Yes, you, Ahruman, the Disbeliever, too! And goran. He seems to be incredibly jealous of goran. I wonder why. Hallelujah.

Tin foil? You mean you don't have the government approved sub-dermal implants? They're ever so easy to inject and all things are 'fine' soon after. I can book you an appointment, or we could come around and see you if you would prefer. Ho, don't worry we don't need your address, we already know that; Your isp was very very helpful in that respect.

Well good night, you will feel better about this conversation in the morning. No really you will. It will all soon be 'fine' and you will be 'fine' too.

Any old mentalist can type. Seriously we've made it easy for monosylabic mind farts to guff up the internet with their fowl smelling lint.

Every keyboard has the letters printed on them, making it easy for these people to brush away the minature elephants and vomit their brain rot all over the servers. Spelling and grammar checkers sift and rationalise their thick knuckle typing into vaguely structures sentances.

We only see their output so we can't see that it's being typed by a madman who hasn't washed in 6 months, is drowning in take away food packets and is in the process of pulling out all his teeth because they're disagreeing with him.

I'm with William Burrows on this one;

"Do not offer sympathy to the mentally ill, tell them firmly; I'm not being paid to listen to this drivel. You, are a terminal Fool."
