I obtained the statement in the post below from:

It is a statement from the matrix chat user ROMDOS who spent many hours contributing to research in the private subreddit pizzagate_private matrix chat room (The user is not myself). The chat room is question is https://matrix.to/#/#pizzagate_private:matrix.org which is listed at http://pizzagate.wiki/Chat_List
It is notable that PleadingTheYiff (Disobedientmedia.com) was indicated as a member of this chat room and appears to have been a leader. Quote from the user who was banned for attempting to use critical thinking skills:
"I have spent close to 20 hours of my time in the last week digging into various leads, trying to debunk bad leads, and presenting new information (ask PleadingTheYiff)"
The statement:
Here's my statement (I'm ROMDOS) in pizzagate_private that got me banned by MadameInternet from both channels:

I thought I was simply stating a pretty common-sense viewpoint: violate reddit's rules == reddit sanctions, and I find it very ironic (at best, hypocritical, at worst) that madame turned right around and censored me for my statement.
Madame then stated:
No he got banned for standing up for our special 3-letter agent, spreading disinfo, and now finally sympathizing with internet censorship.
This is incorrect. There was a user Novak (the supposed 3-letter agent) who got banned by her as well several hours prior, and I had simply asked what the ban was for, and then moved on.
I did not spread any 'disinfo' but sometimes I might come off as cynical because I try to use critical thinking skills, and share what I know or believe to be true, even if it's not a popular opinion.
I don't "sympathize with internet censorship" .. I think a lot of people would agree with me that Spez's edits of posts were totally wrong, and the subreddit ban was probably done in bad-faith, assuming that people were NOT harassing him or posting personally-identifiable information, which is illegal (in the U.S.) afaik.
I have spent close to 20 hours of my time in the last week digging into various leads, trying to debunk bad leads, and presenting new information (ask PleadingTheYiff).
Anyway, I feel like it's dangerous and unhealthy to have a circlejerk of yes-men, and I am not one of them. Please review this info and consider removing my unjustified ban, and please get back to me. Thank you.
