"Is it true?" Facts will have no bearing when they hear something not to their beliefs. It is the source that will be questioned, not the facts. Or if the source can't be easily discredited, the messenger will be gone after, as if discrediting the messenger would cause the problem to no longer exist in reality.
Who are they? Those that dance and distract, derailing the thread, without addressing the point. Is it true? Is it factual? Never mind, it is more important they hear their own echo.
To quiet dissent among the hoi polloi, to intimidate those who dare to present uncomfortable truths, facts, not of their liking.

The Alert/Jury system has given them the power to silence those that have the audacity of not echoing their echo. Thereby making DU suck a bit more each time they succeed.
