AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!

I have seen those posts, especially those pretending to teach you how to cure every illness, lower your blood pressure, have a perfect diet, lower your cholesterol... some even cites Dr. Who as a reliable source.

I understand your angst. It is basic courtesy to give information that are correct after verification. It is easy to lose credibility. It is not being fair to the site too - siva

This will be like the 'wolf' wolf' kind of situation. No one will trust you again. Then do not blame anyone, unless the doctor told you to do it before checking your bp just like my doctor tells me to go up and down a couple of steps as fast as I can before he checks me

I really understand you. There was a lecturer called Einav Gand Galili, she talked about cyber security. You can look for that lecture at youtube and activate the English subtitles. Her lecture was full of mistakes and many professionals and engineers pointed her mistakes after the lecture. Her lecture is a total joke. Guess what ? She sued more than 25 people for criticizing her lecture. Some are reporters, some are bloggers and some are just regular internet users, like us... Who knows what happened with that sue. That sue is meant to stop the bloggers and others from pointing her mistakes and shut their mouth up. There is an internet group that decided to defend against such kind of sues. The bottom line is to doubt and use critical thinking. Read more information from other sources, see if it all fits together. Many people can write and talk and we have to investigate what they say.

Preaching to the Choir. Of course it does no good to complain either way. Can't fix Stupid.

It's like those who blindly share everything the read on Facebook. The media is much to blame, but really, most people should spend a moment doing some research.

I haven't come acroos discusssons like that yet, but from what you saying, it sounds like a total nightmare. I don't understand why people give misinformation, especially after they have been told they are misinformed. People need to get their facts straght before they ever say post in here. I know I am the type of person, that if I am wrong, I want somebody to tell me that I am wrong, ane believe me, I won't repeat the same thing again, as I want to get things right to begin with. I doi appreciate all the infor you have give me, as it has been very much appreciated, and thank you for sugggesting the new site. It is great and I love it.

My hair is very precious and i dont like to elevate my blood pressure so i dont let these kind of posts bother me.

@JolietJake Do you feel better now? Your rants are not going to change the situation.Such persons will continue posting these discussions,

report them and let the admin deal with them, like the way you used to deal with me

I commiserate with you on this. I've also learned that when you provide the correct information you make no friends among the people who wanted to believe the misrepresentation.

i feel this way quite oft 'n learnt to jest avoid those folks like the plague. they seem to feed'pon such antics.

My favorite AAARRRRRGH... I use it all the time I see the posts that you are talking about, I read them and leave a comment that says I didn't know tthat and move on knowing I don't believe them and I could care less. It's just not worth high blood pressure on social media, it's full of disparate people who post trash because they don't know better...That's why my blood pressure is normal, try it, you'll like it

I heard somewhere that presenting information counter to someone's beliefs will make them cling tighter to those beliefs. It's hard for us to question themselves sometimes. We also make genuine mistakes. And that then leaves us with the idiots who never bother to educate themselves. It also drives me nuts when people dispense misinformation. While I'm not one to really argue with someone about it- I tend to say my two cents and leave it at that- it's still a pet-peeve of mine. One that gets to me is trying to use the 2nd law of thermodynamics to disprove evolution. Basically it goes, "since energy "breaks down" over time, and becomes more chaotic, evolution must be wrong because evolution says organisms start off simple and become more complex, which means it's moving in a direction not allowed for by physics." Now, I am by no means physics expert, but I know enough to realize this arguement makes no sense. There are times when you just have facepalm, lol.

I believe for whom your discussion is intended would have read, understood it and would have got your message. I agree with you starting a discussion without any authentic proof of the contents/information could do more harm than good.

Some of them get the info from God knows where and think it's correct....sometimes they need to use a little common sense.

This was a good way to express your frustration and tell how you feel.

Hahaha. At least you make one at their expense

did you told them that they are wrong? if i were you, i would tell them frankly!

Its better to rant here than get it bottled up and explode later on...
