I just edited the question, what do you guys think now?
 
@xwb: Please remember that you have been warned before about repeated editing of questions without improvements.
 
xwb
@Oddthinking I'm aware, but is this case an exception?
 
@xwb I can't see how. It is appropriate to edit questions to improve them, but this question has 11 edits already.
 
xwb
@Oddthinking but ignoring for a moment the number of edits that were required for it, is the current version of the question on-topic?
 
Let me answer that with a question: Given no-one has been convicted of elite satanic padophilia, what possible evidence could we give to convince you that this is an unfounded conspiracy theory?

@Oddthinking I think the strongest evidence for large scale SRA are the multiple testimonies from
alleged survivors and whistleblowers. So maybe investigating those testimonies and providing evidence that refutes them could be a good starting point.
Since such a task could be overwhelming if performed exhaustively, maybe selecting the top 10 most notable testimonies and refuting them would be a fair compromise.
Or more generally, you can pick representative samples from the "best" alleged evidence in favor of the claim, and refute them with evidence, where "best" may be defined with some reasonable criterion.
Btw, I would like to start a (new) bounty, can I :D ?
 
@xwb I just watched the video of ONE of the testimonies - the one that Gunderson introduced as Linda Wegan (Or Lynne Dawega?), where she explains that her husband was arrested for sexually assaulting her children, and they once drew a picture, and she concluded Satan. The one claim "Did [whatever her name is]'s husband perform satanic-style rituals on their children?" could make a good Skeptics question - but it will take a lot of research. That's one question.
Let's not add bounties while the question is still being argued.
I should add: That is an old video, and for all we know she has retracted the claim, and/or no-one still believes her evidence, so a more recent claim (even if from her) would be helpful.

@Oddthinking posting a different question for each testimony technically will work, but it would be a super inefficient way of addressing the major claim.
"and for all we know she has retracted the claim" citation please?
But following the point, should I cite other SRA testimonies?

@Oddthinking I think I should note that OP has now gone ahead and added another bounty anyway.
 
 
1 hour later…

@F1Krazy since Oddthinking didn't reply anything and people were posting new answers, I interpreted that as that everything was now alright and proceeded with the bounty. But if you guys think that question needs further editing, feel free to stop the bounty and point out what is still missing.
