[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's most disturbing to me is that every piece of evidence showing that this is not true just because a piece of the conspiracy for believers. Short of shutting down the internet I really don't see how you can combat this garbage [/quote]

This is silly. We don't need to shut down the damn Internet.

While there is obviously no child abuse going on here, there was evidence of some kind of weird secrecy or creepiness. This sort of thing (even when there's nothing actually reprehensible underlying it), once made known, will tend to lead to unfortunate rumors and conspiracies if powerful and prominent people are even tangentially connected. The world was ever thus.

This isn't "blaming the victim." Sometimes it's best not to post photos of little kids taped down to your restaurant's tables. For the same reasons that I don't want my daughter to ever go around town without wearing clothing. There's just a good chance it might lead to something unfortunate.

Also, for those of you who are interested in exploring root causes rather than just dismissing people as crazy: My guess is that it doesn't help that the mainstream media really has gotten a lot wrong over recent years. They treated Hillary's win over Trump as an inevitability, as the most obvious, recent example. And the Post's PropOrNot piece was laughable as credible journalism. [/quote]
