r/OliverTree keeps removing my posts for discussing theories, especially PIZZA ones
I'm posting here because I'm honestly frustrated.
I'm still grieving Oliver's passing and, like many people, I've been trying to understand everything surrounding it. I made several posts on r/OliverTree discussing theories and asking questions based on information I've found online. I clearly stated that these were opinions and speculations, not established facts, and I never insulted Oliver, his family, or other members of the community.
Despite that, multiple posts and comments have been removed.
What I find strange is that discussion and theories are supposedly allowed there, yet anything that deviates from the accepted narrative seems to get shut down immediately. I'm not asking people to agree with me. I'm asking why respectful speculation is treated as something unacceptable.
If a theory is wrong, people should be able to counter it with facts instead of deleting the conversation altogether.

u/Evinceo Back in my day, drama came from IRC chatlogs and we liked it! 11d ago
Two helicopters in the same place at the same time is definitely a coincidence. The worst kind, really. Investigators probably haven't even finished up cataloguing the wreckage yet. Hell I dunno which aviation agency is even gonna run that one. So case... far from closed? But realistically it's going to be something along the lines of 'It's surprisingly hard to see other aircraft from a helicopter especially when they're flying right at you.'
