Since we just removed a bunch of posts related to "misinformation," thought it wise to add this...

There's an important difference between correcting misinformation in a supportive way, taking into account another member's intent and feelings, and one doing so in a confrontational manner, with little emotional messaging or acknowledgment. The first method is allowed in our community; the second is not.

If you want to "correct" misinformation, you need to find a way to do so in a supportive, empathetic manner. We're first and foremost a self-help support community. We're not a news or informational website.
