I hope that no one minds if I repost a couple of things as an answer $ \smile $ I believe it deserves consideration, referring to the removal of answers and general tin foil hatness:-

"I think this is a dangerous option, because who is to say what is and isn't a "conspiracy theory". The term "conspiracy theory" has been used to smear legitimate information that wasn't group consensus when it was brought up, but in certain cases became established and publicly accepted fact years later (e.g. NSA mass surveillance + Snowden disclosures). That isn't to say that totally unfounded + paranoid accusations should be fostered/encouraged, but using "conspiracy theory" to control what can/cannot be discussed at all is a bit dystopian for my tastes (even if the answer is wrong)." – Ella Rose

and this. Please reflect carefully on the implications of the highlighted word, and how it might relate to the above comment:-

"My problem with tinfoil hats is that conspiracy theories are almost always utter nonsense. Speculation on my beliefs is similarly unhelpful :-)" – Rory Alsop
