Rude? I wasn't aware that pointing out something has no basis in reality is rude.

Obnoxious? Don't post misinformation and you won't be challenged.

Conclusion jumping? What conclusion did I jump to?

And as far as making "Fixed" posts go.. doctor, heal thyself ;)

It got Slashdot-y real quick up in here.

Have you noticed that this keeps happening on different forums? It seems to be an effect of a population threshold being reached and (possibly) the time the forum has existed (separate from the population size - how comfortable the members are and, therefore, how loose they are with their words).
