Let me rephrase my question.

Is it our civic duty to let the author know when we see that he or she writes nonsense?

Even more, is it our civic duty to let other not well-informed readers know that there are at least some people questioning the message?

After all, misinformed people commit most of the world’s atrocities, not those with evil hearts.

Lastly, I did not block anyone and never will. I want to stay fully informed about all the nonsense circulating on Medium.
