"Please do not spread further misinformation about the case."
Let's assume that most people are giving their opinions to their best knowledge. We shall be careful when telling someone to stop spreading misinformation as this is how fascism starts. "I am right, you are wrong, stop talking!"

- rcxdude 5y agoEven when people are giving their opinions to their best knowledge they can be spreading misinformation.
- blumomo 5y agoIs it forbidden to do mistakes? In such cases is it a good idea to respond to your colleagues with "Please stop doing mistakes!" as the parent did?
- rcxdude 5y agoNo, but it may be reasonable to ask 'please do not repeat this particular mistake'
- shkkmo 5y agoBut in the particular case, the discussion centers around a matter of opinion on "should trust be extended to this particular set of statements from a known deciever". Throwing around accusations of spreading misinformation to further your opinion in an argument makes it harder to call out real misinformation.
- blumomo 5y agoDid you ever say such thing to someone who committed an error? How would you feel if someone (your partner, your colleague, your boss) told you such thing?
- Glavnokoman 5y agoCalling everything that's at odds with ones beliefs misinformation is stupid in the first place. And I believe the word is used precisely in this sense most of the time. Definitely here.
