Some random tweet from some random dude that seems sketchy on the face of it: bait

But so reinforces what one wants to believe: hook

Click, rec, comment in ignorance: line and sinker

The hard part is when the facts come out folks still fall for it, because nobody bothers to read the comments in the thread, including the original poster, who lets the thread stand, without correction.

Which is ironic because this is a discussion forum and if nobody is reading this post I am wasting my time

So let’s kick and see how many folks fall for it today!
