    Jeet Heer Retweeted Michael Tracey

    Michael Tracey thinks that promulgating the idea that the Sandy Hook massacre is a false flag operation, leading to families of the dead being harassed, is an infraction equivalent to chewing gum in class.https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1028701184910143488 …

        No I don’t, but I know how eager you are to willfully misconstrue what I say. I think it’s feeble and impotent, akin to a classroom environment, to constantly be appealing to private tech officials to “enforce rules.” Journalists who do this, especially so.

        The words “feeble and impotent” often appear in meaningful policy discourse said nobody ever. Look, we all know your job is to be a contrarian idiot but maybe just keep your shameless grifting away from people whose children were massacred mkay?

        The Catholic Church espouses, as does every traditional Christian body and Church, that homosexuality is a sin. Are they thus responsible for any and all harassment of homosexual individuals?
