Original message |
| A message from the DU admins: Please stop posting baseless conspiracy stuff about Senator Johnson. |  |
 |
I have instructed the mods to lock or delete any threads that engage in baseless conspiracy speculation about Senator Johnson.
In anticipation of the most likely complaint, here is my reply: If at any point in the future some reliable evidence of foul play were to come to light, then you of course would be permitted to discuss it. But unless that happens, you're just making stuff up, and looking silly in the process. And making the rest of us look silly.
Thank you for your understanding.
