One of these new users who showed up through a link to your Knox stuff, obviously.
Am I the only one who feels less confident about their estimation of Knox and Sallecito’s guilt since the influx of new traffic—not because they brought contrary evidence (actually I’ve seen more evidence for innocence from new users) but because some of them sound like they’re too invested in their position and not objective in their presentation of the facts. I’ve tried to only update based on well cited facts (or at least have them influence my estimation less, rumors have a chance of being true) but I can’t help reading the unsubstantiated stuff and I get the feeling that in infects my estimation. The sites were biased but they were clearly set up to address the same questions so I could compare their positions and find rebuttals in the opposing site. Now I just see random things about Guede or Knox and I think I update without realizing it.

I don’t know about that but I’ve certainly become less interested. It is just people trying to influence policy when they are completely unable to do so. A recipe for terrible mental hygiene.
Seriously, who voted this comment up?

I suggest ruthlessly downvoting such comments, which are unfortunately doing harm to the signal-to-noise ratio of this site.
