What responses are allowed when someone posts a claim that cannot possibly be correct?

 

If I believe something is not possible I make no comment at all. I don't know if this action will work for you. Perhaps, just state why you don't believe whatever isn't possible and leave it at that.

 

P.S. Also make sure they are actually making a claim and just not relating listening impressions. They are not the same thing.

...OCD...

 

Potential OCD is not always OCD. Friends thought I had OCD because they told me I kept doing things over and over such as double and triple checking my actions. For example "Teresa you already checked three times to make sure you door is locked, come on let's go." I replied "I don't remember doing that." Years later it turns out I have short term memory problems. Just saying it may not be OCD.

Are you suggesting there might be a physiological reason for the repetitive posting behaviour exhibited by some individuals?

 

Maybe, maybe not. Just suggesting to @Ralf11 that there might be another possible explanation other than ODC.

These tools are also handy.
