"Take it or leave it": All coming from your "sources" I leave it. When you will have more reliable sources than social media, I will reconsider.

I don't remember my posts containing links to any of the social media. Even if there are, they are exceptional. Unless you understand "social media" in a different way.

this is one of the rare boards that tends to have a slightly higher standard of discussion.

You derail another thread (I thought it was my agenda) by offering a discussion on my style of posting. Probably you see it essential to take me down a peg or two. So now I have (at least) a double reputation: the Thread-derailer and the Forum-spoiler.

You present the Forum history as one of a downfall from the noble golden past (where sages exchanged their wisdom, their elusive discourse being unfathomable to other mortals) into the abyss of ignorance, cheap sensationalism and propaganda-mongering. And the only person who is responsible for it is me (since I never saw you criticize others for it). And the only person who stands guard on the brink of the abyss is you.
So perhaps it is one of the following: either it is wildly flattering for me as a person who is alone able to ruin an impregnable, solid and age-long edifice or the exceptional quality of discussion here is a delusion - it is no better and no worse than you may find elsewhere.

So, yes, you should take a minute or two to assess the quality of the content you're posting.

Mostly I try to do that. But in any case "quality" and "assessment" are subjective and arbitrary categories, so each should determine them himself.
