Yes, I am agreeing with you, and disparaging those who so readily use conspiracy theorist as a perjorative.

Sometimes it's hard for me to see tongue-in-cheek replies, I'm sorry!

For the lurkers

The conspiracy-theory label took form and gained meaning over a period of several years (or longer) in the context of efforts by the CIA, one of the world’s leading experts in psychological warfare, to deflect accusations that officials at the highest levels of American government were complicit in John Kennedy’s murder… “Conspiracy theory” gained currency as a name pushed by the CIA for any and all theories that rejected the official account that Kennedy had been killed by a “lone gunman.” The CIA’s campaign to popularize the term “conspiracy theory” and make conspiracy belief a target of ridicule and hostility must be credited, unfortunately, with being one of the most successful propaganda initiatives of all time. Although most Americans today reject the official (lone gunman) account of the Kennedy assassination, they also have doubts about conspiracy theories and those who believe them. This means the CIA program was successful, for its aim was not to sell the Warren Commission, but to sow uncertainty about the commission’s critics. Today, people are not only uncertain, they have given up ever learning the truth.
