@SNerd I really don't want to get started on this particular subject because it's a quagmire with a ton of nuance and complexity, but please try not to spread false information on my threads.

That person, who I won't bother naming, is a piece of shit who should be in jail for a variety of reasons but I can't condone spreading misinformation.
