Lack of proof = debunked. So by all means, investigate and present the proof. Anonymous claims on the internet should be completely discarded without any proof.
Recently Donald Trump attacked the press for publishing stories about him that were not verified and apparently false. How does that not apply here?
Wrong. Anonymous claims on the internet are for discussion, which is actually what Voat is - a discussion board. We don't have to prove anything to talk about it. To say it is true - yes, to talk about it, no.
You don't just "discard" topics because they are not immediately proven. Ridiculous assertion. We are not in a court of law here.
Maybe not discard them, but certainly not imply that their true and proven when they are not. This is what will bring censorship to the internet, and there will be no one to stop it if we don't police ourselves and keep fake news out of it.
No, let me amend that: any unverified claims like PizzaGateGear Guy's should not be included with general summations of Pizzagate evidence, unless looking to lose all credibility. We should stick to facts and only facts.
