If someone is saying "This morning Robinhood conspired with Citadel to halt trading", that is a claim. If I ask for source on the claim and they say "It's in the logs, go see for yourself?", my, and most other people on this sites assumption is "This person has no evidence of this claim, or any evidence they do have is eminently debunkable". Handwaving the claim away as "It's obvious" when to most people, "no it isn't obvious whatsoever", or in the worst case "It obviously is not", marks you at best as uninterested in having a real conversation, at worst a conspiracy theorist.
- Railsify 6y agoMaybe you shouldn't assume that? Sure sometimes there will be no evidence, but you should only come to that conclusion after you shake off the laziness and go look. Again, someone not wanting to tell you something that you can easily check out yourself does not make them a conspiracy theorist by default. I'm sure you are special enough in your mind that every poster you reply to should take time to type you a personalized response but that is not the case. However, I think you are special.
