Some are contending that he violated his topic ban. I handled the flags. He referenced 9/11 lies as a basis for why American citizens no longer trust their government, but he did not assert conspiracy theories, only that lies had been told about 9/11 – which is true. He did not say _what_ lies, and if he had referred to an “inside job,” I’d have taken further action. He didn’t. Others latched on to the fact that he’d uttered the words, “9/11,” and assumed he was referring to the “inside job” conspiracy. By then, the discussion had been hijacked into a discussion about 9/11.
