Huh. Have you actually managed to respond to any differing viewpoint here without wildly misrepresenting that person's remarks in a way that starts at disingenuous?

Have I wildly misrepresented the remark you linked?

I was hoping you'd clarify, but I suppose that's asking for a lot in this day and age of HackerNews. Dialog is dead.

It's pretty lame to say "misrepresentation" is what you call the process of "extracting meaning from unclear and muddled prose linked indirectly."

Dialog dies with good faith; when you try to recast what other people have said in order to argue with yourself, it's clear that you're not communicating in good faith.

When you lash out against anyone calling you on it, that's only confirmed.
