Speaking of intellectual dishonesty, you're putting a whole lot of words in my mouth in the process of responding to only a single one of mine. You yourself have now made accusations about my thought process that are not in evidence. The original comment showed no evidence of having arisen from information in the linked article. In acting to silence someone for asking whether the commenter had read the article, you legitimized their unfounded accusations, particularly that the article was "click-bate" [sic]. Don't pretend that your actions are somehow neutral. If you think neutrality means making a platform to give spurious claims unfettered voice, then enjoy watching your website crumble into reddit in the new year. If you don't understand how your moderation is needlessly making yourself part of the problem, I have no idea how to convince you of it. We will soon be in a place where your well-meaning notion of civility will be entirely irrelevant.
