TIL There are 2 states that still do not require Auto Insurance

You clearly don’t know about Illinois or you just took parts of what I wrote out of context and went with that so you could be right and I could be wrong, since me being wrong is more important than contributing to a discussion.

It’s been PROVEN that you clearly don’t know about Illinois. You’re the one who’s wrongly quoted your own states insurance. You’ve been wrong so many times in this forum it’s tough to keep count. Either you’re too lazy to spend time looking things up or you need to find a 5th grader to teach you how to use google.

Well, he/she/it also thinks I’m a robot, so wrong about that too. But I’ll pinch myself to make sure.

@cdaquila

The content is generally on topic, and I’ve never been able to reconcile banning someone for essentially being wrong. There are a couple of people here who are quite active who give what is often called wrong information.

@cdaquila

I am interested, though, in hearing how you would develop an addition to community guidelines that could fairly address that.

The point here seems to be that everybody can be wrong about something, and if that false information needs to be corrected, then there must be some source of information that is always right to correct the wrong information. Finding that source that is always right is the hard part. So it’s better to let people with different ideas of what is right interact with each other to reach some sort of conclusion.

But there is a different sort of false information that doesn’t need to be proven to figure out what it is. That’s when someone in the discussion takes someone else’s words out of context and twists them around to try to make it seem like they wrote something different. There’s a lot of that going on.

I don’t know what got some users so riled up about insurance. Notice how they take a few sentences of what I wrote out of context? I’m talking about the new system in Illinois that suspends vehicle registrations that don’t have insurance. But they refuse to quote anything I wrote about that or even mention that system. They just quote part of what I wrote out of context and then complain about how TheWonderful90s said that people can drive around with just comprehensive insurance and it’s fine! Isn’t this discussion style quite dishonest?

@bing

changing plates

Telling people they can move plates from one vehicle to another to avoid having to pay additional licensing and insurance fees is false information! Here is a link to the relevant State laws that prohibit this activity! Dear moderator, isn’t there something that can be done to remove this user? This is an extreme example of a dishonest quote and straw man but it’s not far from what’s going on in this discussion.

OK . enough already . If someone really needs Illinois insurance information they will get it from a licensed agent .

@cdaquila Time to close this .
