That's an interesting perspective, that now has me thinking, Lol. My issue is mostly that it's a bit of a low quality thread, not only damaging to our credibility as a website but also feeling like it's an attack towards the judge, I don't want to help spread this conspiracy theory that she's biased and cause others to attack her, if this wasn't about an individual but something else (like flat earth) then I might let people get their ribbing in first, Lmao, but I would still lock it later because I'd rather just stamp the conspiracy theories out. It's mostly that it's a person here that I am so reactive, even though nobody here may do it, I imagine a lurker seeing this thread (some console warrior) and then spreading it on Twitter, then another dude spreads it, and another, then then we have a bunch of angry console warriors attacking the judge on Twitter over some stupid conspiracy theory but if I'm being honest, they're doing that already, so I guess the argument is do we leave conspiracy theory threads up. Maybe I'll change the title while we have this conversation, Lol. |
First of all, thanks for engaging.
I think "flat earth" vs "judge's son works for X company" are a bit different, legal proceedings and court dealings are uncharted territory for most, including me. I certainly have said things months ago about the case that I would cringe hard reading them now. So while "judge's son works for x" makes for a flashy headlines that didn't fool me, I can see why others might fall for it, it's just not public knowledge.
Keeping the door open for discussions can be educational, I have already learned a new thing reading other posts on here, make of what you will.
