re: #136 Sergey Romanov

I strongly suspect it’s a sabotage-with-rationality moment that has simply gone unnoticed ;)

I don’t think so. At rare points, Conservapedia “pushes off” against a truly insane claim as a means of trying to makes itself look ‘not insane’. Many sites, organizations, and people do this. I call them “Sister Souljah Moments” after a point in the 1992 Presidential campaign where Bill Clinton gained support by “pushing off” from a spouter of violently anti-police comments, but “‘I’m Not With Stupid’ Moments” works well too.
