But that's the problem James. Spreading hate and conspiracy theories and
walls of text is much simpler than checking for accuracy and validating
your claims. It's not a matter of "version" of events, there is a list of
things that happened that impacted the evolution of this project and IRL
life of several of its members. It's always easier to write a made up
controversy that brings up engagement, but fact checking is hard to do and
time consuming, while writing lies and "versions" of history is quick. And
people will remember the version that aligns with the view of the world.

You can't put the onus of double checking every single (wrong) claim in
this wall of text on the respondents, but rather use the CC powers to
validate the claims of someone who already been suspended by the CC for
conspiracy theories and validate whether this wall of toxicity contributes
anything to the discussion (hint: it doesn't) and take the appropriate
countermeasures.
