We live in an age of misinformation, but it's not always on purpose. Sometimes we hear things or come to conclusions that end up becoming fact in our heads. Other times it can be malicious with intent to deceive or subvert. Sometimes it's in the middle.

Where do you draw the line with regards to people being wrong about things and feeling compelled to correct or respond to their wrongness?

Am I wrong?

    If they provide zero sources yet claim to be correct.

    I'm a pedant, it's not that I always want to be right, I just don't want to be wrong. Happy to be corrected. :)

      Same here. I find that those with no critical thinking skills are quick to say 'oh you just can't stand to be wrong'–no! I have the self-respect to educate myself and not spread misinformation.
