    Do you think the solution to mis-/dis-information is censorship or otherwise attempting to marginalize what you believe are “garbage and lies”?

    Yes. When people continuously are shown to be bad actors uninterested in the actual facts, yes, it’s good for the health of a community built around discussion to remove such a person since all letting them stay does is place an extra burden on everyone else to continuously correct the lies such that they don’t propagate to unknowing people.

      Funny how this standard applies to me, but not the conservatives around here who are throwing insults around (one of whom is a mod).

      I believe there is a term for it, a double standard.

      I’d like for this community to have high quality discussions. But it never will so long as the rules aren’t enforced on conservatives and leftists alike.

        Calling an anti-intellectual troll on their bad behavior is not equivalent to being an anti-intellectual troll. I’d also like high quality discussions, but unfortunately you’re still here

          I very much doubt that given how many times you’ve insulted me for making an argument.

              You keep saying that, but it doesn’t mean anything. You never present facts in the first place. You just immediately dismiss what I say out of hand.

                I already presented facts, numerous times. Your intentional refusal to engage with the truth doesn’t mean it’s my fault for not trying
