It is no surprise that when it comes to subjects as sensitive as Pizzagate tensions and emotions run high. Uncovering what is definitely the most damning political scandal in recent history is bound to provoke feelings of anger, shock and dismay. However, if there is one thing that I am confident we all know will not help, it is violence.
In the wake of the recent armed vigilante event at Comet Ping Pong, I just wanted to write this post to show that our community does not condone his actions, or any actions like them in the name of Pizzagate.
In my experience as a mod, I have found that most deletions are due to spam posters and basic rules violations; I have yet to see a single person on Voat openly advocating or calling for violence, and I know that if I did the poster would be downvoted into obscurity before the post was deleted. This just reassures me that our movement is not at all what the mainstream media would have people believe. We are not deplorable, we are not violent, or fearmongers, or a disinfo campaign. We are investigators.
If the mainstream media wants to find any kind of confirmation about their beliefs to feed to the brainwashed masses, they are not going to find it here.
Thank you to all of our peaceful, brilliant researchers who go through hours of archiving emails and articles, reading through any leads they can find, and sharing those findings with our community. Because of you, the offenders we seek to bring to justice are desperate and panicking, probably already sacrificing their lower ranks to try to save themselves.
Keep up the incredible work,
Phobos

I will not give acknowledgement or validity or any sense of legitimacy to the 'armed vigilante.' He is a patsy and the ordeal was a setup to smear the investigation. Anyone doing the investigating here knows this and it is folly to give any credibility to that event other than it being staged. The guy did no 'self-investigating.' It was a smear. Agreed, we do not condone violence. However, we do not need NVC (non-violent communication) or NLP (neuro-linguistic programming.)

Yeah, this is a very backhanded posting. It's a weird mix of back patting and back stabbing.
His post history seems legit, but this feels like the work of a counter-agent. Phrased like a "When did you stop hitting your wife?" type of self-incrimination move. The 70 upvoats is a worry also.
We don't have to "reject violence" because we haven't committed any. OP is just dignifying it with an unnecessary response.
OP, stop being a shill, or stop proliferating enemy propaganda.

Downvote. Why do you feel the need to point out the downvoters as a moderator? Shouldn't you be applauding the quasi-democratic voating process here? This needs to be pointed out since you're a moderator.

I have no obligation to like the fact that someone disliked a post about not being violent, that's democracy. Free speech all around.

'disliked a post about not being violent' -- That is not what I disliked. I stated quite clearly that I agree about no violence but disagree with acknowledgement of gunman. Your choice of words does only adds credibility to my assertion that you're using NLP or NVC. A concerned voater asks you formally to edit your statement.
