...I have had ya correct me about stuff way back. You are meticulous in your research and highly attentive to detail. Sometimes that can be annoying. We has to stretch the truth from time to time so's ya get more of it. That being said, da capn could be a little less hysterical about his "truth" postings. Im not saying they aren't the truth, Im just saying I don't believe many if any of them myself.

Hanlon's razor is an aphorism "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity", known in several other forms. It is a philosophical razor which suggests a way of eliminating unlikely explanations for human behavior. Similar statements have been recorded since at least the 18th century. Probably it is named after Robert J. Hanlon, a person who submitted the idea to a joke book.

Re: "Members of this board are not required to agree on stuff. The virus is not a hoax and it is not the end of the world either."
It's only the end of the world if you or someone you care about dies from it.

I don't really think the problem has anything to do with the coronavirus. After all, Nemo blew up the other day over the meaning of "monopoly." The issue is that he doesn't want to be called on it when he posts things that aren't true. I'm essentially the opposite: I'm not going to let anyone's factual errors stand if I can help it. Since I'm not going to compromise on the truth and he's going to continue to occasionally post dubious material, he's going to have to grow a thicker skin.

BTW, when you said "you guys should knock it off" - I'm going to assume you were just being P.C. I didn't do anything to warrant his bizarre reaction.
