Please stop, both of you. This kind of tedious back-and-forth degrades this site and adds nothing of value.

Done and noted moving forward.

I don't envy you your job.

I also don't like your odds here: the current site mechanics and moderation pace don't seem adequate to preserve the good parts of the site in the long run, but any significant overhaul would also risk the same.

I wish you luck, with sympathy.

> "Because Politifact and Snopes are biased and opinion based, they are not credible to determine whether stories are 'fake'."

Even here you could go more honest and humble--"I think that Politifact and Snopes are biased and opinion-based to the point I can't see them as credible to determine whether stories are fake"--but such a modest approach would indeed be very counterproductive if your real purpose here is to, as you say, invite reactions and watch your karma to take the pulse of the community.

> Yes, I provided no evidence. I don't care to. What minuscule effect can I hope to have on a tiny handful of strangers on the internet?

None, with that attitude! Have a good evening.
