I read exactly what you said. Pointing the finger is a vastly different thing than stepping up and taking responsibility.
ROFLMAO. You are incapable of saying, "I misunderstood" When you have no other way out you just shift to another attack. Talking to you is like trying to nail jello to the wall.
Having watched your posting style for years, I understood your intent. I keep using your own words in my replies to you, yet you keep insisting you meant something other than your own words.
You’re a strange duck. When I use your own words, you say I misunderstood you. When I paraphrase, you accuse me of creating strawmen. No Guide, I’m right back with you where we’ve always been. I’m not the one shifting here. Your original swipe at me was to say “He brought up something that had absolutely nothing to do with what I said at all. That's a Strawman Argument.” When I refuted that by pointing out that I was specifically going at your ‘caricature’ statement and it’s implications relative to that article, YOU shifted to another attack: “ No I can't accept when you read your own bias into what I saw and challenge that.” then when I reiterated that I was addressing your ‘caricature’ statement, you shifted yet again: “ What I said was Troll Farms
amplify the voice of the extreme.”
Then knowing that won’t fly, you shift yet again - but this time to complete adhominem: “ you are just being an asshole. That is part of what I take issue with. The rest is your rude, combative and condescending approach to the conversation.”
Then when I AGAIN come back to the caricature thing, you yet again go adhominem: “For some reason you refuse to deal with any responsible position you disagree with. Instead you regress it to some adsorb straw man.”
No Guide, I am not the one relentlessly shifting. Nor am I being rude. Funny to watch you do those things, then project them onto me.
No, you don’t get to pretend that those despicable caricatures emerged from crafty “Eastern European” mills and were foisted on us unwitting innocents. They did not. They live and breathe, right here.
