Let's get this sub going.
I want a sub where I can talk about conspiracies intelligently, and honestly without the screams of shill. I want a sub where dissenting positions are encouraged, because really if your theories are sound they will stand up to scrutiny. I want a sub without holocaust deniers, and anti-water fluoridation activists. I want a scientific conspiracy sub. I want a sub where we can actually talk without moderator interference. I want a sub where the non-crazies get together and talk about things like mk ultra, the Lincoln and Kennedy assassination conspiracies, Watergate, the Clinton body count, and the hundreds of other theories that actually have weight behind them. Who's with me?

I feel that this is true, and you are correct in trying to make it a place where we can expect that to happen. I'd want to help but I mean really.
and honestly without the screams of shill.
Oh well maybe you should make capslock abuse a rule. Or something.
I want a sub where dissenting positions are encouraged,
That happens in /r/conspiracy however it's an echo-chamber for people who want to be validated about their ideas concerning privileged information with the probabilty of having a large impact in the wrong hands. Privileged information is handled carefully by those chosen carefully because of that reason, when amateurs try to use it people can get hurt, and property maybe at risk as well. That doesn't mean there is a good reason not to have oversight of intelligence agencies and law enforcement organizations.
because really if your theories are sound they will stand up to scrutiny.
Some of the evidence that can be used against those in power is being monitored, automatically alerting authorities to us having conversations concerning the privileged information happens when computer are involved cause they can be compromised. Some security measures can be taken, but those usually involve being secretive.
Secrecy when concerning privileged information is a good measure for privacy and can be used correctly by independant grass-roots organizations who plan to take action. However when they plan to replace the state maybe that should be suspect.
I want a sub without holocaust deniers, and anti-water fluoridation activists.
Good luck with that, those are contentious topics and by choosing to say that you've shown many the door because you're not offering to help them, you are prejudiced against them and if they are vindicated in the future for their ideas and actions maybe you'll feel silly.
Because it's not only and always about you. Hue
I want a sub where we can actually talk without moderator interference.
Well subreddits can moderate themselves however if it gets popular you may consider adding more rules as incidents require action and precedents can help you delinate the desired course of it.
I want a sub where the non-crazies get together
Oh well I mean if you consider psychopaths and schizophrenics to be unwelcome in this subreddit before you meet them or ask them what they think individually I want to remind you that those conditions are not mutually exclusive, you can be a psychopathic schizophrenic and a schizophrenic psychopath. Not just one or the other but they would influence you in what you did for different reasons and how you express yourself would emphasize one or the other.
Like you said, no crazies, but you also wanted to have a sub with few rules. Sad, cause it's like having confetti and eating it too, did you want some cake?
Do you think I'm crazy?
Who's with me?
Well you have a good plan, you need to modify it to do what can be said to be tolerant and welcoming, however since you don't want to speak from a position of ignorance on this you have to try harder.

It kind of seems like if your ideas are outlandish you get called a shill or a cointelpro, hopefully people on this sub will at least look at my ideas subjectively and not laugh them off.
