the further back in the account history i dig the more doubtful i get.

Discussing this is fine, and it should be questioned. More importantly in this case, it's "does the theory add up" versus which anon pieced it together.

this makes me struggle with how to express skepticism without being a wet blanket or worse.

Personally, I don't think you have to worry about it. You're fine. You're not a shill.

Some examples:

• Users that respond off topic to a top comment, and continue to argue about the off topic comment. So now everyone actually discussing the subject is pushed further down the thread.

• Or the users that reply to one comment with a reply broken up into two comments for no reason. They continue to respond to each comment with the similar responses. Again, derailing the thread.

It's a time waster. Especially when people start arguing off topic about thier woo-woo spirituality and trying to convert people.
