Here is an example of my introversion kicking in.
It was here on Agnostic.com . I was paticipating in a Zoom chat. I am new to this chat group. There is a person on it, a regular, who I will call The Oracle. Whenever anyone needs a question answered he provides it, quite pontifically I might add. So anyway, there was a question about beer, and he did some clicking, and rhymed off a whole bunch of "facts", which I knew was complete and utter BS , as I had breweries and people making brewery equpment as customers in my past job. I let him hang himself.
I let it go, it was taken as gospel by the group because he is of course ,The Oracle.
I do not know what he clicked or where, but it was bizarre and so wrong. Did he make up a bunch of crap or what?
Am debating whether or not to participate again. Am not interested in a dick fight with him.

Post what you want in opposition & just ignore him or block him. You don't have to engage him. Correct the record & walk away. Or not. I am introverted but enjoy the interaction on this site where I can not be punched in the nose.

I have a friend, on FB, who copies & posts any old crap her other friends share ... with the expressed expectation that I will correct it for her, if it's BS. On anything & everything!! So, others often see me as a 'fucking know it all'. Not everyone has read her posted comments, acknowledging that she posts, then waits for me to invalidate it, or support it. She also leaves the post up (sometimes with multiple likes & support comments), but with my correction attached. She knows that I hate distributed misinformation more than being judged a bitch.

So, it's up to you @HappyCanuck; is the truth worth your investment? Given the other zoomers will re-share the BS, without your support. We learn who to trust & respect, by their support of the facts, with evidence. I'd raise a new post, not reference the oracle or zoom event, state actual facts with evidence, & tag the other zoomers, but not the oracle. (They may find it's not the first BS accepted; and be grateful to you.)

If you generally enjoy the forum, why let one idiot ruin the entire thing for you? You can do some "clicking" of your own while he blats on, then ask pointed questions AS IF you actually want his answer(s)....enjoy!

Instead of leaving everyone in the groups , due to one fruit cake , you may consider blocking him . That way you won't see his posts in any groups , although I don't know how that works on Zoom . Good luck , Hon !
