Showerthought: I used to think reporting posts for 'hate speech' was always the right move, but a mod in a history group muted me for flagging a quote from a 1912 newspaper.

That quote, which was just a primary source about labor strikes, made me see how 'safety' rules can erase real history and stop people from learning.

That 1912 paper quote is just a fact, not an opinion.

My buddy got into a huge fight about some old science quote last week. He kept saying it was just a fact, like you're saying @ray_coleman41, but his friend took it as a personal attack. They spent an hour going in circles over the exact same words.
