Relevancy: Mike Cernovich pushed himself to the forefront of Pizzagate by insisting he was this HUGE Trump supporter! Ever since he's tried to cash in on this ''fame'' by writing books, vlogging, making movies (WTH ever happened with that? Money? Money? Where did t go?), and anything else he can come up with.
I always gave this wuss the benefit of the doubt. Even when he received a redacted court Epstein document and mistook it for him being sued? Hard to believe an attorney would do that, but okay. And he's said some strange things. Like that he used to take drugs and party with transgenders. Some old tweets were pretty disgraceful -- especially the language he used. I didn't dismiss that entirely because those tweets were bizarre. But a couple of months ago, I saw this tweet where he was soliciting his services to someone in the Killary camp. Don't remember her name or what she was embroiled in, but it struck me the wrong way. Ever since I saw it, I haven't been following any of his posts, but when I went on Twitter tonight, the following was in my feed:

I honestly don't get it. How does your life improve if Hillary Clinton is arrested?
(Spoiler alert: She won't be.)
KABOOM!
My head exploded upon reading this! Seriously, how the fuck can he even ask a question like this? Or defend her? Or give a SPOILER ALERT?!!!! What? Is he trying to be cute? He's anything but!
In the first place, he knows SHIT about ANYTHING going on in the DOJ, the FBI, or anyone else for that matter! I would hardly give credence to his opinion on legal matters involving The Cannibal Queen's culpability in any of the perversions or crimes that have taken place, but the circumstantial evidence is MORE THAN TROUBLING! Because it is, it HARDLY DESERVES A PASS!
In the second place, HTH can a Trump supporter, knowing all the shit we know, possibly NOT think that she should be arrested? And notice he doesn't even deny that she's committed crimes. He doesn't ask us WHICH of the numerous scandals do we think has enough traction to bring her down. Oh, no! Instead, he centers his question on nonsense! I mean, why is he hinging this question of this bitch going to jail on how it will improve our lives?
How did the arrest today of the sex traffickers improve any of our lives? It didn't put money in the bank. It didn't put food on the table, but doesn't knowing they won't be able to victimize women and children, and not use to money to fund other illicit schemes help us sleep better at night? Doesn't the fact that we know our government/ICE are taking action against these traffickers ease our minds and give us the security that we have a responsive government? In other words, think about how troubling it would have been if ICE issued a statement that they'd found a trafficking ring, but wouldn't take action because it wouldn't improve any our lives. WE'D BE LIVID!
So in case you didn't see this, now you do! There is no explanation or apology he could possibly offer that would clear this up for me. He is officially off my list of resources for information. Further, I hope his little shill indie journalist sham he's wearing falls apart!
Fuck Cernovich!

Q said there would be information and disinformation. What if POTUS has called on Cernovich to say what he's saying? I dont agree with a lot of what he says but over all he's for Trump and against the corporate elite bankers. You gotta give your Trump supporters more grace and let people be wrong sometimes. I'd rather be in the trenches with a guy like Cernovich fighting these evil bastards, than with any Liberal. Everyone in an Army Unit won't all believe in the same things. The two things they gotta remember is why they are fighting and which team they are on.

Not for nothing, but the reason I didn't even get the notification of @Ben_Matlock (who the hell is he again?) is because I'd BLOCKED him. If I have somebody blocked it's because they're a straight up asshole. No, I don't block people just because they say something mean. Or because they don't disagree. I do it because they're idiots/shills/disruptive and add nothing to the conversation. I also block when they seem to have a personal agenda in making life difficult for a select poster. Evidently, whatever set me off to block him fell into one of those categories, and now he's a Junior Moderator? You've got to be kidding me! There's a whole contingency on Voat that hates what I do and now they have someone to turn to a whine about what I post? Someone who's going to listen to this nonsense?
Don't know how I feel about this ... he's so insignificant in my life and yet this is the position I'm put in now.
Whatever.

Ben was announced when @think- and I formed the new mod team. There's a post in v/pizzagatemods. He is our night watchman because he is from Asia...very valuable in the event of a late night hentai flood. It's because of him that I can go to bed at a decent hour.
I vetted all of the mods pretty thoroughly and would never choose someone who is an enemy to PG or to investigators. Could you tell me what it was specifically that caused you to think he was someone you needed to block? I have never seen anything shillish or disruptive from him...he is particularly mild-mannered and noninflammatory (one of the main reasons I invited him to mod -- he doesn't get caught up in flame wars).
I wonder if there is a chance you misunderstood something he said at some point? Do you typically reply to notifications through your inbox rather than from the thread comment tree? If so, you may have misconstrued a comment of his as a reply to you when it was a reply to someone commenting in one of your submissions. For example, if Donkey or one of our other termites said something shitty, and ben replied to his comment, you may have thought he was attacking you when he was really defending you, just as you apparently did with exposethecriminals in comments of this thread, when they were trying to help you.
I carefully chose all the mods we have now BECAUSE they are resistant to nonsense. We are all here to help, MP. Truly.

Can confirm, @migratorypatterns. @ben_matlock is a nice guy, and a good mod, and I appreciate him as fellow mod.
IIRC, you blocked him on his first day as a mod, about 2,5 months ago. ;-) Don't know why, though.

I don't either, but like I said, I don't block people unless they're behaving in a way that suggests they need blocking. And we'll agree to disagree. Lots of times, there's someone that other people like, and I don't. Doesn't make them bad, just means I don't get along with them.
