I hate the terms "conspiracy theorist" and "buff" too, but the Establishment has been using them for at least 50 years, and they're not going to stop just because we don't like it. They've used every personal attack in the book - we're paranoid, deranged, kooky, only interested in getting rich (like who has ever gotten rich from criticizing the WC?)...
When I first got on the internet c1994 or 1995, Google didn't exist; I think I used Hotbot or something, and when I searched for "JFK assassination," the first site that came up was McAdams'. It was big and filled with photos and info, and though I could tell the site owner was defending the official story, I still thought it was pretty cool. So I sent him an e-mail, to which he replied very politely and invited me to join alt.conspiracy.jfk. Back then, I still thought that defenders of the WC were just misinformed and could be reasoned with. I quickly found out how wrong I was. McAdams played "good cop" to the other LNers' "bad cop" - they were dismissive and insulting.
Pretty soon I could see that McAdams would wiggle out of any corner you backed him into, and avoid talking about the real issues. McAdams, Von Pein and others like them are what I call "professional lone nutters." They know the subject very well, they know the problems with the official story, but they spend vast amounts of time defending it. What is the motivation to do so, unless they're being paid?
