If I post a link to a site, I may or may not agree on its contents.

The main purpose of posting a link into a news aggregator is for conversation, sharing thoughts, and wanting to know what others think about it.

If someone posts a link to something unpopular, it is possibly not because of endorsement but because of wanting to know what others have to say about it.

Maybe, this sounds obvious to some. But I am just explaining it for the others.

Especially when it comes to conspiracy theory. I'm not knocking conspiracy theory by saying that. I am very much a conspiracy theorist. But that won't stop me from posting something I don't believe at all because I think it's interesting to think about.

For example, you would have a hard time convincing me that someone besides the Fed assassinated JFK. But if someone wants to take a different stab at solving who dun it, I'll read about it, and I'll even share it with others.
