Why the comma?

All facts are true OP. That is why they are facts.

OP, can you try again in English this time?

Actually the OP is correct, his use of a comma sets off part of a clause, which is correct.
To the other posters, the use of a comma intends to make a sentence clear, which this does by defining the OP wants only confirmed facts, not things that people think are true.
The sad part is you have 4 people that think the comma only has one use, and to make it worse, they can't think of anything to add that is clever or even relevant to a thread.

4. Do not use commas to set off essential elements of the sentence, such as clauses beginning with that (relative clauses). That clauses after nouns are always essential. That clauses following a verb expressing mental action are always essential.
That clauses after nouns:
The book that I borrowed from you is excellent.
The apples that fell out of the basket are bruised.
That clauses following a verb expressing mental action:
She believes that she will be able to earn an A.
He is dreaming that he can fly.
I contend that it was wrong to mislead her.
They wished that warm weather would finally arrive.
Examples of other essential elements (no commas):
Students who cheat only harm themselves.
The baby wearing a yellow jumpsuit is my niece.
The candidate who had the least money lost the election.
