your last post is also an example of misrepresenting my argument- I’ve said nothing about “misquoting”.
TBH I don’t think you know what you’re saying. Let me remind you :
“I think maybe Ernie’s managed to muddy the water there by asserting I’ve said things which I haven’t, tbh.”
I’ve asserted that you’ve said things which you haven’t ? ….. I call that misquoting.
But of course I didn’t misquote you. To say “as if” and “you might not think” is very clearly a suggestion and not a direct claim.
And now you want to start making a distinction between “misquoting” and “misrepresenting”, because in true STW style it is far more important to argue the pedantic toss over the precise meaning of words than engage in meaningful debate.
I mentioned precisely this issue yesterday Northwind, let me remind you again what I said :
It’s sad to see you descend into petty trivia over words used btw. Try to deal more with the bulk of the argument in future 💡
I am not a barrister putting a legal argument before a court. I try to be reasonably factually correct because to do otherwise devalues debates. But I’m not going to entertain petty issues brought up by anal-retentive sufferers attempting to score points on the precise meaning of words.
