The rise of the Internet has given an outlet
to people well outside the mainstream who may get labeled crackpots
through internet
postings promoting particular beliefs

The universal characteristics of crackpots include:
Crackpots overestimate their own knowledge and ability, and
underestimate that of acknowledged experts.
Crackpots insist that their alleged discoveries are urgently
important.
Crackpots love to talk about their own beliefs
Crackpots greatly exaggerate their personal achievements
