My post regarding Jim Lacatski’s response to NewsNation is an example of how a lack of understanding can open the door to misinformation, bad actors and spin-off conspiracy theories.

One of the most downvoted comments was simply asking for a source!

6+ hours later, a kind soul posted a link which clarified Jim Lacatski’s perspective in his own words, but by that point the party was already over and everyone had gone home. I updated my initial post accordingly, but any damage was already done.

Rather than downvoting requests for sources or links, please assist them!

Collectively it saves a lot of time, elevates understanding and hinders the spread of misinformation. The pieces of this puzzle are spread over thousands of conversations and documents. Individually we’re unlikely to remember everything all the time. But collectively we stand a chance.
