This forum isn’t a british tabloid. We must care about truth, which means we must care not to intentionally mislead others. A false claim that you must follow a link before you can determine it’s false, should be strongly discouraged.

I feel like Less Wrong posters have trouble picking up on this type of joke in particular. I wonder why this is.
Thats a great quote though.
