What ever happened to just thinking people who disagreed with you were wrong?

When they disagree about many-worlds, zombies and God?

Yes.

Be careful about asking me to call people who are wrong about many-worlds "crazy." You're one of them.

If you'd heard the talk, I don't think you'd say that. It presented radical systematic failures in rationality. "Crazy" is more accurate than "stupid" for some of the behavior described.
