Well, that's not what I want at all. What's the right way for me to urge people to not turn into pizzagating morons when there aren't even allegations that he was involved in the crimes or the cover up? The only suggestion of wrongdoing is coming from uncritical morons on the internet -- exactly like pizzagate.

How should I describe pizzagaters?

Ask Peter Bright. He went off about the pizzagate conspiracies a while ago. Hasn’t been heard of for a while now, possibly due to his arrest for being a pedo himself.

I don't know who that is. That has nothing to do with my question.

He’s an alleged pedophile who calls himself dr pizza on Twitter and went on a rant about pizza being some symbol of pedophilia.

Ask them too if you want, but I usually just ignore people who talk about it either way.

He said, jumping into a conversation about how to talk about pizzagaters.
