You know that overwhelming urge you get to post a correction when someone is wrong on the internet? I'm currently feeling that with a vengeance. But the problem is that if I post a correction, that'll just draw more attention to the wrongness.

In this case, it's probably best to let the wrong exist in relative obscurity and just bite my fucking tongue until it bleeds.

I just hate the fact that people will read 1 person's account of a complex situation and just say, "yes, that is 100% truth and an exactly correct interpretation of everything. There is certainly nothing being left out or spun. nope. this random username I've never seen before can be trusted implicitly."

And like, I don't have any "inside information" to add, really. I just have critical thinking skills and an ability to smell bullshit from a mile away.

I got a question about the issue at hand, so now I get to decide if I think I DO have those skills 🙃

I'd go with an "I'm not an official venue and don't have all the information". Hell, if it is about that, I saw portions of it go down and I don't have all the info.

yeah, I just posted and that's the route I took
