The same goes for you. Calling out bullshit and disinformation benefits the whole community,unlike nonsensical remarks. So if you don't appreciate efforts to counter nonsense by bringing facts to the discussion, just sit this one out.
An uphill battle. IMHO it's okay to assume users have brains and they can figure out the difference between facts and jokes just fine.
