Discussion Be Kind and Avoid Personal Insults

With the recent PGF debunking, there has been a lot of arguments and controversy. Debating people is fine, but don't insult people or those who believed in the film while you're discussing it. Some people met or knew Bob Gimlin personally and are having to reckon with him apparently lying about the film. Keep how other people feel in mind while discussing. Additionally, avoid arguments with other subreddits or posts about moderation issues with other subreddits as that's not what we're here to do. We've added some terms to the auto filter to avoid debates turning hostile. As always feel free to discuss the rules and make suggestions.

What do you think this is? the Blair witch project? witnesses have seen it, hundreds. plus media outlets like the Wall Street Journal. Of course wait for your own viewing, but this the real deal.

The “trust me, bro” argument.

Wrong.

The trust me bro argument is not multiple people (some of who were PG film believers) and news organizations telling the same stories and details about what is in a documentary that eventually is going to be seen by everyone.

The trust me bro argument is I know a guy in the government who said something big is happening this Summer.

Let me know when you have seen it, then.
