I intensely dislike falsehoods spread via all the various media including social platforms and even on Talk of The Villages. I have spent time debunking falsehoods that I've received in emails, to no avail. The original sender never corrects the original message to reflect the facts. I tend to fact-check most items, however, sometimes I get caught with my "pants down."
