I would really like to see a separate research sub where people like me can drop possible leads without having to face the 'shill' calls. The community could then decide if those leads are worth investigation or not.

I cant know if what I have found is useful or not. When I post something it is in the hope that it will be of assistance to those more able, or more knowledgeable than me. I will never be a top pizzagate contributor (and dont wish to be so either). I do however want to help in whatever limited capacity that I can. Currently I get called out for doing exactly that. A research sub would solve that.

What is absolutely evident is this: If we post something here and it is genuinely pizza related - even though we dont know how well related / or we cant prove it - the pizza pusher involved will be aware of it and his / her ability to push pizza will be harmed just by the act of posting their information as a possible lead.

This is only true if they are actually hiding something and should not cause harm to any innocent person whose information is questioned - This is an investigation - there is no crime in asking questions or pointing out facts as they exist on the internet, even if the community consensus is that the information is not truly related. (Please point out any deficiencies in my argument if they are there)

We need a research sub where we can dump EVERYTHING we have. There are only so many false / bad leads that can be provided.
