Thought of the day: Free speech is one thing, but it shouldn't be used to excuse stupidity, bad faith, or use of fallacies to add confusion to a discussion.

For that, you would need my code, as well as the GreaseMonkey addon.

If someone is interested, I'll put the addon on Githug with instructions on how to add it.
