I know exactly why, actually, it just frustrates me to no end.
Why bother? It's like the tons of spam email that we all get, bogus crap that belongs in the computer trash bin.

Because you and I both know that the minute this stuff sits there without challenge it will gain credibility of the "well, it could be true and since no one has said anything to the contrary, maybe it is true. Oh my god, the chips that are being inserted into vaccines are causing autism!" We've seen it before. You're absolutely right these rantings are a species of spam but the only filtering we can do in this venue is to counter the bad information with good information that points out just how truly laughable these ideas are.

The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up." (Terry Pratchett)
