A simple solution is not to correct misinformation by directly addressing the misinformant, but by addressing the reply instead to the original poster, pointing out to him the truth of the matter. This automatically reinforces his importance and the issues relevant to him, while diminishing the importance of the misinformant. It works. Try it guys!
Some guy:"Hi, i was reading and i was wondering, is it ok for the skin to do (insert thing here)"
>AJ:"See a doctor! Don't listen to anyone here!"
>Random people: "AJ is a troll!"
>AJ:"Don't bother me with your silly accusations..."
>And it just gose on and on and on...
>(note: this was just a made up thing)
>Granted this is really funny, but the people that actually want a serious answear, and are probably a little worried due to the problem, are sitting there wondering "What the hell is this place??"
>Just my opinion
