User blog comment:Jay ten/Should we correct people when they say a story is real? Opinions wanted./@comment-25383866-20141106120252/@comment-5643552-20141106132206

We're not trying to convince the lunies who actually believe this shit so much as we're making it clear (to outsiders) that we aren't trying to convince people the stuff on here is real. Once again, refer back to the Wisconsin incident.

Also, most of the time when this kind of thing comes up, it's in the form of questions (e.g. "Is this real?") rather than outright declarations of existence.
