It's a visceral reaction to .world and "fact checkers". Your account is concerning in that you present yourself as a fact checker, yet we have no idea what your motives are.

Seriously, could your usernames possibly be more on the nose? This feels like a setup.

I feel like I should definitely ignore both of your posts and let the article speak for itself.
