Ah, the 2 sides.. the rational side, and the conspiracy-riddled side.
Of course both sides believe they're the rational one, and the other side is the nutjob wacko one.. and both believe they're right.

I don't think it's about believing which side is right. Many subjective topics aren't popular on HN because there's no way to reach a census. I have also noticed that most comments don't engage with exaggerated and flame bait language. People are generally listened to and responded to respectfully. There's going to be exceptions, but I see less troll type comments on HN and that's why I respect it as a source.
The "nutjob wacko" opinions are respectfully heard and then respectfully torn apart.
