I'd ask you why you feel it necessary to put threads like this in the main discussion forum? This is not meant as a criticism, I'm genuinely interested in whether you feel you need to help a wider audience to see your understanding for example, or whether you feel the topics do not get properly challenged in the fringe section? You obviously find some merit in these topics, for me the one thing you could do for me to follow the links through is to filter to ones which you have found practical and useful today, and say how. I don't generally care if the writer refers to conventional scientists or has traditional qualifications. Sorry for the long winded reply to the topic.

I almost never watch video presentations - if a point can't be made without scary mood music and cheap animations it's not worth making.

Brilliant post.
1) I really don't like lies/misinformation/deceit.
2) I stereotype most of these fringey things as lies/misinformation/deceit.
3) Even if it is all completely true, I don't see how understanding it makes my life any better.

You won't change my mind on #1.
I'm not going to discuss #2 unless I see some merit in doing so...
#3 is the mystery. How do you expect your life to be improved by gaining knowledge of these "fringe" things?
Not just improved, but improved by more than the time it takes you to to research/understand them?
Perhaps you have more time than some, so have a lower value threshold. Or, perhaps you get a greater satisfaction from the act of research/understanding itself? Or, see genuine value that I and some others are missing.
