on a town in Texas that banned fracking and then the state legislature came back and said that localities could not ban fracking (small government, lol).

In the message there was a link that I could have used to contest the supposed violation. I didn't, I just figured that if several people thought that I was "peddling right wing talking points" that I would just keep my mouth shut. And I did for several months.

The point is, if the poster on whom you alerted actually receives a censure they can contest it.
