Except this is not what I said at all.
Nice try at a dishonest post though. Read what I actually wrote and try again.
Nah, I didn't have to try very hard at all. But clearly you put a lot of thought into being a troll. Hopefully you didn't hurt yourself.
And you're trying to argue that
Is some gross misrepresentation of what you said? And you're claiming I'm dishonest? Is this a joke?
It was a completely inoffensive article that you blatantly misrepresented so you could offended. Sorry, but you clearly tried hard to do so.
And I notice that you didn't actually challenge any of my claims. I suspect this is because you know I'm right, but your ego is too fragile to admit it.
Yes. Because that's not what I said at all. Go read what I actually fucking said.
It wasn't.
I didn't.
Because it was a dishonest troll comment that misrepresented what I said. Just like this one is too. There's nothing to challenge when all that you wrote was dishonest. And there's no reason to treat you seriously when you're just trolling.
I literally cut and paste what you said and you're trying to deny it. Lol this is bat shit crazy.
Literally cut and paste it and you're still pretending you didn't say it. Lol you're fucking nuts denying reality. It's like when I argue with climate change deniers and trump cultists.
I also addressed your other point about giving a platform, by pointing out that the only story here is the controversy.
It's not that I don't understand your point, it's that we both understand at least part of your point is absolutely ridiculous, you're just too fragile to admit it. So gaslight and and attack.
