Looks like you are using it as a pejorative, since ‘pejorative’ is the fourth word in your wiki link, marvin. Bonus points for good rhetoric and etiquette.

Everything in Snopes is well cited and researched. Any criticism of Snopes’ information must be equally well sourced and equally specific, or it’s surely nothing more than crankery.

Debunking maximum lengths of whatever alligators may, or may not, live in NYC sewers is one thing. Whether or not a particular person laughed in regard to their early days as an attorney, discussing their defense of a rapist, is another.

One can be discussed here, the other… not so much. And as such, the demand for “well cited and researched” rebuttal is a hollow one.

All things considered, being called a ‘crackpot’ for holding an opinion that differs from yours doesn’t mean much.
