It is very easy to throw out allegations and comments without checking up on whether these are actually in accordance with the evidence, and some people do it constantly, even when it would only take a couple of seconds to check.

When we make some factual assertion about some issue which is relatively obscure, or subject to controversy, it is elementary good manners to provide links to sources.

And yet when Carol does that she is repeatedly attacked and insulted as if doing that kind of thing was a mark of obsession and imbalance. I wish that some of the people who lay into her would take a bit more care to check up on their facts, and to indicate their sources.
