As long as the conversation level is discourse and not insults, we all have a built-in filter to decide what is real and what is entertainment. A spectrum of theories is better entertainment, but not necessarily beneficial to those who take this very seriously and from a very defined focus. So what is your spectrum/focus? Just one opinion.
Personally, I don't find anything remotely entertaining about the idea of encountering yet more stupid theories put forward by clever people - particularly those ones who like to argue from a supposedly high (but strangely evidence-free) ground, while incessantly trolling everyone who disagrees with any part of their idiotic mental projection.
Surely only those with a refined taste for tragedy mixed with schadenfreude would find Voynich theorists and their foolishly ideological theories entertaining.
Just to be clear, a theory isn't ever stupid -- that is the nature of theory. What exactly is the ideology of the Voynich manuscript?
