I understand there is a balance between asserting a point and polite behavior. I also recoginze that if someone composes a post that is wildly unprincipled and destructive, inaction is tantamount to endorsement. I refuse to let misleading information rest. I try to do it amicably.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
John Stuart Mill
English economist & philosopher (1806 - 1873)
