Giving roy a weeklong break for that is pretty silly but honestly, @immamac is not really being all that unreasonable here and we could all stand to be a little more charitable to him considering the amount of shit he has to put up with, me included.
I personally disagree with the stance he and Bob have taken with regard to the DT, and I think that what @UnivTex34 said is essentially correct. There is a lot of shitty disinformation dropped in various DT threads from sources that range from dubious to literal fake news factories, like the numerous OSINT Twitter accounts that are often (completely uncritically) used as sources of credible information that are just posting straight up foreign agitprop. Pointing this out is usually "too CR" for DT posters and gets you reported.
On the flip side, I also understand there's a line and that I personally have stepped over that line a number of times so there's plenty of room for interpretation there. We're never going to get it right 100% of the time (mods and posters alike) and not everyone is going to be happy about it.
