Is it necessary to rage like an agressive drunk psyco? I do appreciate the links to the sources, but behave like a civilized being.

If there's one thing I've learned over two decades of arguing with people over matters like disinformation and genocide, it's that gentle phrasing leads people to walk away with "Ah, a nice little political disagreement! Agree to disagree!"

Spreading disinformation is not something that is minor, and it should not be treated as such. Even if done without malice - and I don't think you're doing it maliciously - treating it as a 'mere' disagreement encourages people to continue repeating it. Treating is as a serious offense - which it is - forces either defense of the disinformation or discarding spreading it.
