The '''Encyclopedia of American Loons''' (EAL) is a blog written by Fredrik Haraldsen,<ref>[http://americanloons.blogspot.com/2010/05/welcome-to-encyclopedia-of-american.html Welcome to the Encyclopedia of American Loons!] (May 5, 2010)</ref><ref>[https://www.facebook.com/fharaldsen Fredrik Haraldsen] ''Facebook''.</ref> Ryan Lake,<ref>[http://americanloons.blogspot.com/2010/12/ Encyclopedia of American Loons] (December 2010)</ref><ref>[http://chaospet.com/about/ chaospet] About</ref> and someone with the initials "G.D."<ref>[http://americanloons.blogspot.com/2018/12/ Encyclopedia of American Loons] (December 2018)</ref> that gives short biographies for living (at the time of blogging) [[American]] [[pseudoscientist]]s, conspiracy theory promoters (such as [[9/11 truthers]] and [[birthers]]), climate change deniers, anti-vaxxers, vehement anti-abortionists, and [[religious]] [[fundamentalists]]. Loons who have migrated from other countries to the US, particularly from [[Canada]], are also included. Between 2010 and 2019, more than 2200 biographies have been written. The length and quality of each biography varies, and some biographies do reference [[RationalWiki]]. Other frequent references include links to [[Patheos]], [[Respectful Insolence]], and [[Right Wing Watch]]. All biographies end with a "diagnosis", the author's evaluation of the crank, a metric of how ultimately dangerous the crank is. EAL includes both well-known loons and more obscure ones, and does not use notability as a criterion though the better-known seem to be favored. Older biographies are prone to using dead links, but one can probably trace back most of them using [[archive.org]] or [[archive.is]]/archive.ph. Blogging of loons appear alphabetically, then cycle all over with a new alphabetical batch. Belittling so many lunatics [[RW:PISSED|will garner some fan mail occasionally]]:<ref>[http://americanloons.blogspot.com/2011/02/fan-mail-time.html Fan-mail Time] (February 23, 2011) EAL</ref>

{{blockquote|[[Psychological projection|So what the fuck is your problem?]]<BR>

Why are YOU so goddamn smug?

Who are you to ridicule a [[Zionist]] [[conspiracy]]? The [[Antisemitism|Zionist conspiracy]] was involved in the very formation of the nation of [[Israel]]?!! [[Argumentum ad hominem|Fucking dumbass]].

You're probably the type who believes the official media story of [[9-11]], without a critical mind to investigate [[Truthiness|alternatives]]. And how sick of you to ridicule truthseekers and call them "troofers". That's just horrible. Would you rather people NOT try to find [[truth]]?!

[[John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theory|I bet you believe in the Warren Commission's report as well]], and [[Pentagon Papers|the official]] [[propaganda]] about the [[Vietnam War]]…&nbsp;and you undoubtedly believe in the [[Big Bang]], and pure [[evolution]] by chance and [[random]]ness with no [[Intelligent design|intelligence]] involved whatsoever. The Big Bang is [[Balance fallacy|just as goofy a theory as]] the "poof-there-it-is!" belief of [[creationists]].

The comic strip on your webpage is the worst I've ever seen! Even worse than [[The Simpsons]] animation, even worse than King Of The Hill. Whether you or one of your WOW-playing buddies did it, it's abject garbage.

I bet you're some 20-something [[punk]] who think he's a know-it-all. I bet you listen to shitty [[music]] and [[Argumentum ad cellarium|play video games all the time]], when [[irony|you're not making fun of other humans]].

If you believe in the official, mainstream trash about 9-11, you're the one who belongs in your American Loons encyclopedia. Why haven't you included yourself yet?

Fuck you, you ignorant non-thinking half-brain.}}
