Let me start off by saying that I believe in second chances. And I believe in taking people at their word. I never followed David Seaman but knew he was becoming a big face of the Pizzagate sphere, for better or worse. It got more and more clear over time that while people on Youtube and Twitter eat up whatever Seaman says that he had at best a mixed reception here at Voat. And by that I mean mostly negative. I never looked too much into the criticisms. At the face of it I thought it was nitpicking and I didn't want to assume bad faith.
Then one day I opened up my Twitter notifications and the newest alert was that David Seaman just followed my account. Pretty cool, I guess. I didn't follow himbefore he rage-quit Twitter for gab. I didn't follow him on gab either. I honestly wasn't impressed by his personality I suppose. He seemed kind of phony in his videos (personality-wise). Or maybe overly emotional, which was why I was worried about his (canceled) Daily Show appearance. I knew he worked at Huffington Post at some point, which I just automatically associate with low IQ's. But generally I felt he was just being hated on for no real reason.
I started these threads to encourage Voat and Seaman to clear the air:
https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1647256
https://voat.co/v/pizzagatewhatever/1647373
My main objective I guess was for Pizzagate research to go more smoothly, without infighting. Because at the end of the day we're about catching pedo fucks. I was met with some hostility, and I responded in kind. I realize now that the distrust for David may be warranted. Britt Pettibone told me he was an awesome guy in the past. So I didn't see the motivations of Seaman. Someone responded to the above topics linked that Seaman preys on cute young girls. I was weary. I messaged him on Twitter and asked to either set up an Ask Me Anything with him on Voat or to relay questions to him so he wouldn't be bombarded by attacks.
I basically straight up said I'll give you a handicap because Voat doesn't like you and I want you to say your piece. And what happened? You guys were right. He flipped out on me and called me biased, went hysterical about accusations I never even brought up, bragged about how many people he's woken up, and then rage-quit by unfollowing me. I was shocked. I never had strong feelings one way or the other about Seaman and just wanted to open a dialogue. And he freaked out at me.

EDIT: After I messaged him I wrote this tweet expressing skepticism about all these rising journalists leaching off Pizzagate for name recognition-

Guess who immediately responded back saying I was the one being dramatic? LOL. GTFO.

So @Gammi @Forgetmenot @Don-Keyhote @TruthTrumps @nomorepepperoni @CipherPuppet @Flat_Truth @Antonius @Ramona @cantsleepawink @l4l1lul3l0 @LeHappyMerchant @Hey_Sunshine I want to apologize. Whether I argued with you or whether I promised to ask him questions on your behalf things didn't turn out how I thought they would. My bad.

OK, I'm going to say what I really think here, haha, I've been suspicious of this guy since I heard his story bc how he says he got fired from huffpo, that's not even how it fucking works people, you don't get fired for writing an article they don't like, that's not how it works, mostly they give you assignments. If you're a freelancer and they don't like what you write, they don't buy it, if you're a house writer the editor is going to ask for a rewrite, and you're going to be working overtime to get that in. They don't publish something they don't like, the author doesn't publish. The only way you're going to get fired in a case like this is overly defending your stance and pissing them off, and they're still not going to run it. Huffpo is a full on propaganda machine. At any point writing for them last year you would have been well aware of that, and not submitted anything that's out of line, if you did you're a total moron.
Now, this hack wagon, he writes a book on how to be an internet sensation, when he's not one! He writes for THE most liberal propaganda machine out there, then suddenly he's completely flipped, all the while Soros is handing out money all over Colorado like dumb and dumber, here ya go, here ya go, here ya go. He builds an big audience of ass kissing sheeple that defend him to no end. Then he goes off the rails spouting shit about killing Podesta, calling for a public hanging I think it was? Anyway, it was something that could be construed as a call to action, which puts our whole investigation in jeopardy, but even more importantly they can use it to attack all media outlets they define as complicit. It's so similar to the CPP gunman. Think about it, your career is journalism, are you going to throw away your career for this, that's a big fucking gamble. Or was he paid out enough to take an early retirement from msm?
