I for one disagree that there was a 9/11 conspiracy.

That said, the use of the term "conspiracy theorist" has increasingly been an accepted way to avoid real debate on issues and reinforce prejudice for anti-establishment views. Anybody in spring 2003 who would have questioned the evidence for WMDs etc. would have been a conspiracy theorist, too. Except now every major news org (Fox likely excluded) publicly states that they fell down on the job and accepted the establishment's views without looking critically for themselves at the evidence. When your govt is involved in various kinds of shady mischief in the 3rd world and you present evidence and outrage for these acts, you're not a conspiracy theorist, you're just not a sheep.
