Read it, or not.

Believe it, or not (Ripley?).

Attacking a DUer for making a post from the NYT on an apparently important DU topic is inappropriate, and arguably childish.

If you don't like what's in the NYT article, don't read it, or rebut it rationally. There's also DU tools to protect people here from being exposed to opinions that don't agree with theirs, if they wish.

I choose to not use them as I find contrary arguments important.
