When you pretend to quote someone, but you alter the quote, you're being dishonest. What you just did suggests that you don't really have any good arguments on your side - that you don't have any arguments that would stand on their own, without requiring a lie.
So, if we were having a debate, I'd say that you lost.
- dgroshev 5mo agoI'm not being dishonest, I'm being sarcastic. Although I can see that you ignored everything else that I said. I couldn't care less about "winning".
- ern_ave 5mo ago> you ignored everything else that I said Well, you started by altering a quote. Is it unreasonable for me to call that out and stop there?? Try to imagine that this comment you're reading now said: > > you ignored the irrelevant things I said > yes, of course I did! Try to imagine how you would respond to that. Then, try to imagine how you'd react if I said, "I was just being sarcastic bro!"
