Agreed on the "too general" part. Not sure if it's useful to narrow it down, as I don't think that definition is doing any more work for the discussion.
People that started piling on, weren't necessarily piling on false-hoods. Instead, they were piling on unverified conspiracies.
What's the distinction here? That on the one hand they're saying "I'm not sure, but it sure looks suspicious!" and on the other "Look what they did!" Is that a meaningful distinction?
Why the focus on a singular mistake in reporting?
At the end of it all, adding weight to Memories Pizza with a statement like
The left gleefully destroyed a family-run pizza joint because of the answer one of the family members gave to a reporter.
while dismissing Pizzagate which was arguably fueled in part explicitly by the Trump campaign (as opposed to some amorphous "left") seems grossly unfair.
I don't think I have anything to add to this. It looks as empty and partisan as the original comment, unfortunately. I commend you for stepping up and taking the time to discuss this with me. I honestly appreciate it. I'd have liked to have heard from 'rhapsodic as well.
