Fear mongering is spreading discreditable, misrepresentative information designed to induce fear and apprehension.

How is the information discreditable or misrepresented ?

We are also are not telling people to be more fearful or apprehensive but pro-active and forewarned.

Are you saying that reading about the calculated and scientifically assessed statistical risks and situations has made you fearful and apprehensive ? Does reading about disease mortality statistics or violent crime statistics make you more fearful and apprehensive ? Does reading about crime prevention or steps for public health improvement make you more fearful and apprehensive ?
Is it just thinking about your own mortality that has made you fearful and apprehensive ?

Membership money is to support the organization and the listed projects.
Do you have similar concerns about organizations like Mothers Against Drunk Driving ?

Is it because we are discussing low frequency but potentially high impact risks ?

Would propose that we include some kind of caveats or warnings to go along with the messages so that people can help maintain perspective ?
