I don't agree with your characterization of 'baying for his blood' because of his 'ideas'. Yoho didn't share ideas. He distributed propaganda, often from sources that had no journalistic standards and were acknowledged bad actors. Whenever Yoho was pressed to explain or provide context or to discuss 'ideas' he would not. He was essentially spamming the forum with lies. He managed to find a soft-spot in the forum rules. CP is a much better place without Yoho.

The journalistic standards of most stuff posted in the politics forums is poor. Half of the “sources” are just tweets by amateur political pundits. Nobody cares so long as those half-baked sources support their own political beliefs. And conversely, even the most well-sourced article will be dismissed or sneered at by people who disagree with its perceived political slant.
Nobody should expect CPs mods to enforce standards of journalistic legitimacy for sources cited in these threads. If tech companies that employ thousands of monitors can’t manage it, you’re not going to see it on a forum like this.
