Another revealing confession .. I was just reading a dodgy site ... the one we all know so well .. and they are trying to come to terms with Neutron Stars and Pulsars.
They are actually attempting to understand how (i) dense neutron stars can stay together (in an electrostatic/atomic sense) and (ii) why a fast pulsar doesn't fly apart and (iii) why electrically neutral neutron matter can support "electron clouds" and currents (magnetars).
This would suggest that these folk do attempt some form of enquiry from a mainstream perspective, but they seem reluctant to engage in anything other than collective discussion amongst themselves on this topic. The end result, is referral to the scriptures of the well known culprit scientists (who perhaps, have some kind of vested interests in the outcome). The same happens with mainstream discussions here, but I'd say the difference is 'see for yourself', once you've read the material.
I do see much frustration because they can't follow the rationale of mainstream on this. Perhaps their isolation also turns this frustration into outright anger.(?). Reactionary excursions by 'Ninjas', (created by our own making, I suggest), venturing into the evil mainstream camp appears to have not resulted in an improvement of understanding, quite the opposite, actually ... thereby completing the 'vicious circle'.
Steven's distinctions below, to me, make Pseudo science detection very clear (good for a sticky at the top of this Forum, really). I'm willing to use these to keep me honest !
Cheers & Rgds.
PS: Carl's message below beat my above post. Apologies for the 'disjointed' flow.
