For the most part, it NEVER involves debating the evidence, and usually just involves name calling or some medical psychological problem (as you listed). This is just as bad as calling someone a kook or nutjob (fox news tactics).

I've been called every name in the book on here.

It comes down to fear. I have friends and relatives that don't want to research things (especially 9/11) cause they wouldn't be able to handle it if the actual "conspiracy theory" was true. So its easier and safer to discredit the character of people.
