I use GOS and I am all for correcting people, but perhaps next time, don't assume they are spreading FUD, and instead assume they are just misinformed

    I don't see how spreading FUD and being misinformed are exclusive. I didn't say he was doing so in bad faith, just stating that the comment created fear, uncertainty and doubt without any factual basis.

    To be fair Wikipedia does say it is a manipulative propaganda tactic but I've usually meant it in the abovementioned context.
