Well now isn't that nice - a way to call someone a shit without actually mentioning them by name - do you think that some weird dreamer might just have become a little obsessive about who can post in 'her' threads?

"This is because I am pedantic about facts, and I get enraged if anyone refuses to report the absolute truth"

Well now I'm sure that is meant that to be insulting - there are people good at personal insults on mudcat in lieu of any argument - but I frequently draw attention to the fact that what I post is my opinion or that of someone else who I may not even agree with but, wherever possible, credit the source.

What I do NOT post is the most outrageous lies - yes lies! - as statements of fact in areas of expertise I know nothing about.


I have thought quite deeply about the dissemination of wilful misinformation on a forum like this and, whether it has been examples of blatant racism, homophobic hate speech or just someone spouting on about some subject they know nothing about but can manipulate to fit in with some personal fixation, I think that there is a serious duty to discredit it.

Well that's my take on 'personal responsibility' anyways FWIW
