Should I continue to let this drive me completely nuts or should I go to my safe place and simply let it go?

I am always saying not to let the small stuff get to you, but a couple of weeks ago I encountered this short essay on Columbus Day where the second paragraph concludes with:

Many people are against the celebration of Columbus day because they say that America was first discovered by Washington Irving and achievements of Columbus were not enough to honour him by celebrating this day.

I left a comment but either no one was “home” to approve it, or they were possibly put off by my rather agitated state regarding not just the absurdity and insanity of the inaccuracy, but that something like that would be allowed to be posted to a website that seems to be about providing information to people on a variety of subjects. It’s not a website of funny history essays, full of mistakes, by grade school children.

These kinds of things drive me crazy.

Should I try again, maybe leave another comment, toned down this time, or should I just let it go?
