Yeah, I completely agree. Except I feel like posting the automod screenshots should be the expected norm, not something that pokes the bear. That just seems like accountability to me.
I am no fan of American conservatives. But that doesn't mean I can't take criticism about all aspects of politics and consider the different viewpoints. Like you said, unacceptable for a news community to do this.
Einstein might have something to say about that. Not necessarily a counter argument. But something for sure. Or maybe his chauffeur...
Actually there are whole segments of science that deal with the problem of observation. Many things are altered by the very act of observing. Some of those are easy to understand. Like photons being used to observe things will drastically alter subatomic particles. Other are a complete mystery.
I am not qualified in the sciences, just what I've picked up a long the way.
