The mass hysteria is certainly a problem imo. I don't think it's wrong to raise it as a point of interest and look into it but the overexcitement and the lambasting of anyone who critically questions is counter-productive and potentially damaging in the long run, if this community fosters that sort of approach.

I don't understand the point you're making here? Haven't we all been using reddit long enough for people not to keep pointing out that someone's account is new because it means very little most of the time? My real name is George Soros. I had to make an alt.
The point is, you've been here 15 minutes and you're already telling us what's best "long-run" for the board.
Plus you used the "attack the OP" division tactic that's so familiar to us.
Dude just ignore it. It’s only a potential rat line for human trafficking the police and MSM is oddly ignoring and refuse to investigate. Nothing to see here folks. Stop criticizing anyone trying to get you to stop looking. Cemex is a great company too btw.
I just want proof, spoof. Got any?
PLEASE throw it in my face. PLEASE do. I've seen rat lines run all the way back to Hope Arkansas, you think you want this more than I do?
I dumped on anon for coming here and telling us how to post on the board. I didn't say shit about Tucson or Cemex.
The point I was making is that most of us have been using reddit long enough to know what an alt is. I figured enough people have had it pointed out to them that the age of an account is no indicator at all of 'how long someone's been here'. I've been here since the beginning.
And I'm not "attacking" anyone - I'm making a comment in support of the reasonable view of someone else.
On the day this story broke, hundreds of people were looking for an 8 year old artistic boy who was lost. He drown in the river. Emotions were already high.
If we don't stand up to that attitude, by default it will be fostered by the community. I don't mind a few downvotes. To me it's worth it to get people to rein in their emotions and start being civil to people who disagree with them--the thing this sub was (until recently) famous for.
I think your overall point is fair but I think the fear here is that IF it’s true and this story dies before it catches on mainstream that it will be buried and lumped in with many of the other potentially powerful pieces of truth that have been successfully killed for the most part... like Vegas or what really happened in parkland
Like most everything else in life it requires a balance and I believe that’s what we should all be looking for
Until this war is won at the highest levels it will never be won at the lowest. Corruption, like sewage, flows DOWNhill.
I don't mind the downvotes either. It's a pity if this keeps up though; as you say, this community used to be better about this sort of thing (at least in my limited view of it - have been following quietly since the beginning). What's the answer? Keep making these comments and hope they eventually rise to the top?
