You can avoid the embarrassment of posting something shockingly ridiculous by doing the
quickest of fact checks. Do you have access to Google or another reputable search engine? Just like Adder did, type in a few key words that relate to the subject of your post as search terms, and you can almost instantly see if what you are saying is completely full of shit. If what you are saying is only mostly or partially full of shit (like the "no horns in rock" thing), then it may take some more time, and even some follow up reading, which I don't expect you to have time for. But if what you intend to post is something along the lines of "Trump never lies" or "nobody called Hillary shrill," you can figure out that you shouldn't post that shit in literally a few seconds. Unfortunately, your suburban PA cocktail parties are not going to cut it in the fact checking department for you.
