The "Conspiracy Nut" Put Down

Solitude in The Mist - Lake District, England

     By definition, a conspiracy is a secret plan between two or more people to do something that is harmful to another person or group.  The act may or may not be illegal.    A person who engages in conspiracy is a "conspiracy theorist".  Thus, we have all worn that label at some time or  other.

   The terms "conspiracy theorist", "conspiracy nut", and "conspiracy loon", often spoken in a denigrating tone of
voice, are loaded, pejorative terms.  Loaded language is "verbiage that attempts to influence the listener or reader by appealing to emotion rather than logic".
