62. Confirmation bias

Is exactly what it is when someone makes a ridiculous post about ambassadors being at conventions without taking the time to see if it's commonplace.

What you are doing, is holding so much resentment that you lash out at anyone who bothers to correct someone.

Enjoy your ignore button, DU apparently isn't enough of a safe space if someone corrects another members incorrect assumptions.

Sad.

The confirmation bias was on his part. I'm not sure where his post went but I'm sure he wouldn't deny accusing me on post count and join date.
