Listen, I know you want to keep things organized and on point. But there is a fine line between that, and simply deleting people's thoughts because you find them to be unworthy of whatever standards you are applying.
I am not trying divide us or cause distrust toward you KingKongisWrong. I am writing this to you to let you know that you need to ease up on the deletions.
Not for altruistic reasons, but for the sake of the longevity of this investigation itself.
When you are too heavy-handed with deletions, it causes distrust, and eventually it stifles the thread.
So what I am asking you is this. Even if you see something that YOU perceive to be totally worthless or off-target, do not simply delete it. We are rational adults here. The things we find valuable, will rise to the top; that which we don't, will sink.
I am appealing to your sense of practicality here. The most prudentially wise decision would be to take a hands-off approach to moderating, clear cases of shill-posting would be the main exception.
Deleting stuff just because you personally don't find it relevant or valuable is crossing the line and subjecting all of us to your whims. We are pleading with you to please be more sensible about this.

We're counting on you. With great power comes great responsibility.

Nope, not even close, binky.
The focus of #pizzagate, is the alleged pedophilia ring operating out of WASHINGTON DC, (not bars in Oregon, or ping pong parlors in California), and it's DIRECT connection to some of the biggest names in politics, mainly focusing on connections to the Clinton Foundation, and its relation to the Clintons, as regards alleged pedophile ring cover ups, collusion, complicity, and involvement.
The alleged pedophile ring appears to be connected in a myriad of ways to several businesses in the surrounding DC area, many of which have a preponderance of pizza-related references and connections to a select group of powerful people. Comet Ping Pong appears to play a major role in the interactions between alleged pedophilia activities and powerful political people in the area.
The focus is NOT on "pedophiles." They are a dime a dozen, and exist world-wide. The focus is on a SPECIFIC group of alleged pedophiles, operating from a SPECIFIC locale, with SPECIFIC incidents involving a pizza shop run by a guy who was voted the "49th Most Influential Person" in DC.
I hope this has helped clarify the somewhat narrow and SPECIFIC focus of #pizzagate for you.
