Note that Rule 1 of the community doesn’t even mention anything about misinformation. and in fact explicitly encourages being civil when faced with opposing opinions:


There’s a huge distinction to be made between “car owners” and “entitled drivers.” Don’t mistake the latter for the former. I guarantee most people who participate there own cars, including me. Why would we come up with slurs against ourselves?
If you come across such claims, please report them! I don’t want that sort of shit infesting the community any more than you do.
Sorry, I meant “electromagnetic radiation”. Fumes were mentioned in the title of the post.

This was on your front page for two days. I find it hard to believe you didn’t see it.
Which one is a “carbrain”? And are you sure everyone there agrees with your definition?
Report them? To the mods banning people such as OP?
Yes, report them to me. I’m the mod being complained about.
Nobody got banned; a comment was removed and no other action was taken.
OP isn’t the person who wrote the removed comment.
Removing comments like this is exactly how you curate an echo chamber, and echo chambers are breeding grounds for “everyone else is a new slur”.
You’re actively manufacturing something pretty gross, which is really unfortunate because of how objectively awesome the concept is.
