People must hate accuracy

[cjsmith]

I saw something that wasn't true and I commented on it. DEAR LORD please stop me from ever doing that again. The original writer seemed to see my point, but friendsfriends are missing it entirely and/or calling me names. (This includes at least one who responded with a statement that was untrue!) SHEESH. What the hell is so difficult between TRUE and NOT TRUE? Particularly when the statement is one that is often used as an insult by people who DO believe it is literally true, I figured it was worth speaking up. This is the second such case in maybe a month (different writers) and both times the majority seems to prefer the false-but-pretty-and-self-congratulatory statement. Don't disturb folks with the facts, huh?

I hope I've learned my lesson.
