You cannot stop people being misled. They do such a fine job of misleading themselves.

The point is not whether the rumor is clear or not but rather the manner in which reminders of such facts are demonstrated. As a leader here, your actions could be tempered with a little more kindness. It does matter.
I do appreciate your intentions in replying to stop the spread of ignorance but wish you would have a bit more tact in communicated undertone of said replies. 'How' is just as important as 'what.'
Since the title of this thread has changed there will still be people who miss the point. If something is unsubstantiated it will not stand up to scrutiny.
That said, imagination or conceptualization can be valuable processes in discussing what could be (but which we know currently isn't). The difference is in knowing what refers to reality and what merely suggests it.
