I reject this notion that if you criticize something you are morally obligated to present a fully formed and thought out alternative.

This is not a think tank. This is a forum for citizens to get stuff off their chest and share information.

As an ex-cop, im not crazy about them and don’t associate with them. I was deputized as a us marshal. Major illegal shit happened. They get the bad guys, but not legally..

The fancy term is "argument from silence fallacy" -- if no alternative or refutation is offered, the original statement must be true.
