Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

Preaching the correct way to respect nature? Yeah fuck me I guess
This is the wrong time to do that.
Do you want help finding an oil pipeline near you?
And not reading the article, apparently. Yeah, fuck you, I guess.
Why do you think I didn't read it
I think you come off like you are trying to dodge the crux of the argument to focus on a overly specific detail you know you can "gotcha" with like a troll does.
Looking at your comment history I don't see a super clear indication of that, so assuming the question is in good faith consider the twin realities here that almost everyone IS REALLY tired of rightwing trolls deploying these tactics in conversation and are reacting to that in your words before getting to your opinion which I suspect is still unpopular (and I think largely missing the point/wrong) but not wildly and decisively so like the downvotes and angry comments (mine at first included) suggest.
Lol looking into my comments hoping I'm a nazi but I'm just a guy with a deep love for the outdoors
It is called getting context before you let your kneejerk opinion get the better of you, fool
Why would you have a knee jerk reaction though? Don't decorate nature with stupid shit. It's common sense
You don't get to choose whether your knee jerks when the doctor knocks it gently, hence the term "knee jerk reaction".
What you choose to do next is where you define who you are?
Do you kick the doctor in the face to spite your health?
