I was taken in by the antispore site. We all were. But it turns out that the site's creator is, in fact, a DCL.
The true purpose of the site has been revealed. And it is glorious. Poe's law, otherwise known as 'spending 6 months convincing Andy Schafly you're as mad as he is' in all it's genuinely infallible wonder.
Addendum: Even though the author put in a full verse of Rick Astley's classic 'Never Gonna Give You Up' and referenced Poe's law, i feel it necessary to direct you to the post in question. Look at the comments. Post fifty is yet another attack on the author, starting with the phrase "First of all, are you serious?".
Let me answer that one. No.
Scroll down through the comments. It goes on for a while. No-one seems to be getting it. Maybe the rickroll is just too subtle. But really, this is another prime example of John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory (a theory as accurate as Poe's law):
Post 111 (to get to which you must scroll past the phrase 'Rickroll' about 50 times) starts: "First off, are you really that stupid?" And so it goes on. Enjoy.

Oddly enough, while I was taken in by anti-spore despite having read the Rick Astley thing, I have always had my suspicions about conservapedia. Especially the whole unicorn thing.
Never heard of rickrolling though, or Poe's Law. Come to think of it, I only have the vaguest idea who Rick Astely is, and am determined to avoid learning more.
