dang, as always I appreciate your curation of this place, but there has to be a channel to push back on people who just come here to lie. If we just let it slide that people are going to post here that we can't trust the media because they aren't reporting on the shocking story of all those dead voters in Milwaukee, then we are inevitably accepting the end of civil society.
"People who just come here to lie" is flamewar/battle language. So is "push back on people", in fact. What I've noticed is that when internet commenters use such phrases, they're coming across as far more aggressive than they think they are. Everyone feels like they're just playing defense while others are committing outrages.
That kind of thing just inflames the problem further and take us into deeper circles of hell. You can respectfully provide correct information without doing that. Your arguments will be more effective too.
