I have been questioning myself about posting anymore on this subject here. It seems to go dumpster rather quick and information, misinformation and disinformation, for some, seems to be of equal weight. Broad opinions or statements of fact without any links, who does that? The worst, IMHO, is of course conspiracy theories from some of the public bad actors here in Canada and the US. Please fellas don't post them here, your not helping.
My point... I try to research using the best available evidence from trusted sources and as someone that's been doing this for decades, research that is, I think that I'm well practised. Do I make mistakes? Shure we all do, were human but we pick ourselves up, sometimes admit fault and try to do better next time. I am heartened by a few of you here on this forum that have taken the time to clear up misinformation but I have to wonder if others to feel this way too. You would think the social pressure to get things right would be enough to be careful of what you say.
Do I continue posting? Does anyone see value in what I say or are my posts just as good as someone that's clearly, through no fault of their own, misinformed. Should I even point that out?
Why do I care? Me, my family and friends are mostly high risk. I kind would like to keep them around longer. Even people I lock horns with on here I want around to battle with again when this is over.
So here is your chance, should I.
1 - STFU don't point out misinformation.
2- Just post the odd graph and video and let them decide the value for themselves.
3- Just post "Nonsense" when you see it, don't go into to much detail as to why.
4- Don't post you are a magnet for the contrarians out there.
5- I suggest you ____________
Guidance, is what I'm looking for, on this thread or PM.
Thanks
