You need to read the site guidelines. You can't post like that here.

Also, free clue: No matter how right you're sure you are, sounding like a jerk is a sure way to get people to write off what you say.

I would read what they wrote first, cursory nihilistic dismissal, demonstrative cursing. I don’t think that level of discourse belongs here, what they wrote.

In my view you’re flagging the wrong response.

Posters that extol the virtues of misinformation do not belong in discourse. Simple.

I read it. You are out of line - far more so than they are.

I disagree. And in a protocol form of comm, strongly disagree with any forms of policing discourse when the parties don’t appear to be aggrieved enough to merit it.

Interesting how little protocol is understood whereas site guidelines are enforced arbitrarily.

I'm the opposite of a nihilist. I think human beings are beautiful creatures, and it's wrong to misattribute to them. I think all human factors are trade-offs, and a balance of more and less intelligent humans are beautiful. I love that people love all sorts of things, and people clearly gestures everywhere love conspiracy theories.
