I reported the environmental post to the moderator. Why?
Because people come here to have fun. Clearly, the creator of that environmental thread wanted to rile up people who have a thorough understanding of science. Clearly, it was combative from the get-go and anyone could have predicted the result: name-calling, politics, etc.
In the future, if you want start a controversial post that will OBVIOUSLY rile up the scientific community, and those who support science, with the intention of getting into a political debate, please go somewhere else. This is chess.com and the Off-Topic is meant to be fun.
I come here to unwind . The last thing I want to see is someone referring to other people as "libs" or this or that. It's rude, immature, and I'm tired of it. It's bad enough that decades of hard work to safeguard the American environment has been unravelled under the current administration without seeing more lies and debunked conspiracy theories (most of which originate in the Kremlin and spread through social media) propagated here.
