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.

Yawn. Just a failed attempt to stir up drama and get us to fight each other rather than the real enemy.

Destroy the messenger and the message is retarded. That's what the Deep state told me, any way.

Uhuh, read the OP.

Your opinion is why I replied. Your jealousy is blatant and pathetic. You goal is to divide, go read between the lines of your own damned words.

Uhuh, sure thing, David. There's nothing to be jealous of. You're mad because I'm transparent to Voat and you're not.

David has a Colorado IP. Mine is Oregon. Deflection with innuendo is a common tactic. Mad? Disgusted would be closer to the truth. I have to agree with you, you are very transparent. You depend on emotion to make a case. Not wise, but wisdom is over rated on social media. All about the hatred and emotional dependence at the cost of reasoned logic.

Uhuh, whatever you say. My post history here speaks for itself. You've contributed nothing. Keep it up, Shareblue.
