Makes sense to me.

Yeeee-ah. It is VERY RARELY possible to correct someone who does not solicit your input, and even when one CAN it's generally only on narrowly specific facts and only if they, y'know, accept that fact-based reality exists, and they still resent it. In my experience.
But one wishes to INFORM PEOPLE of the CORRECT DETAILS and NUANCES and it is so very very desirable to attempt to COMMUNICATE INFORMATION. Agh, why are humans. I am particularly aggravated when I notice myself doing *both sides* of this!
>> I am happy to talk in more detail about why the This Is Us thing gets my back up, if you'd like. <<
You certainly can, either here or in a PM to me, if you like. I'm interested in the topic. But I am *not* (generally) on Tumblr or Twitter or Google+ or Facebook or anything precisely because I don't want to field any of the frenetic hyperbolic talking past one another. So I haven't seen the OP or any of the more notable responses, and I'm not sure if you would really wish to propagate (directions to) messed up content in the course of explaining to me why it is messed up. Thank you, though.
