it seems to be the bullying m/o of some of the pizzagate followers. check out this post where i got flagged 18 times because I asked one of them to provide evidence. Hope this doesn't become the cancer of steemit.

I like your comment about insecurity.

I like a good debate, and I like good journalistic investigation.
I am a newshungry man - the Mass Media has not been doing a very good job at feeding me what is really going on in the world. IMHO
@fyrstikken, I couldn't agree more. A big part of my job these days, is teaching university students research,critical thinking and analysis. My Bachelors is also in Journalism. I agree that many media outlets have been caught lacking for a while now, but the unsubstantiated nonsense I see getting passed off as fact regarding Pizzagate is beyond comprehension. Then, when these same people who criticize mainstream news try to silence anybody who questions them...well..this just reeks of desperate hypocrisy and disingenuous motives. Just my 2 cents.
nothing is conclusive yet, so everything that is being picked up now on the Internet is what I would call voluntarily research, and as an observer I kind of like to see these people who had so much power barbecued by voices from all around the world. If they are guilty, they deserve justice - and if they are innocent, they have a lot to explaining to do before people will believe them.
The Moral Standard - I am not even sure that is a thing anymore.
