Please don't post flamewar comments to HN. It leads to repetitive, dumbed-down, nasty discussion.

I think it is a reasonable thing to not leave misinformation unchallenged, especially when that misinformation is correlated with a rise in (lethal) hate crimes against Asian Americans.

It's reasonable when you do it in a thoughtful, substantive way that leaves a lot of room for other side. It's not reasonable when you do it with snarky flamebait, or with low-information/high-indignation swipes. In other words, the issue isn't the content of your views, but the quality of your posts. We're trying to avoid internet default here, if possible.
