I’m puzzled over why the comments in this thread are being downvoted, as well. I can’t help the feeling that there’s more “we’ll downvote things that we disagree with” going on in this community than there should be—this is far from the first place where it has looked like that.
I’m not particularly puzzled (9/11, cultural identity, arguments are soldiers, etc). But I certainly disapprove of downvotes of Jonii’s question in particular. It is the right kind of thing to ask, just so long as the asking is not rhetorical.
Indeed. Jonii wasn’t even expressing support for a conspiracy theory, he was simply asking for clarification. (And even he was expressing support, that wouldn’t by itself be reason for a downvote, for as long as it was well-argued.)
