33. No, of course this is not what I am saying! Isn't it obvious?

I am showing you how false and hopelessly subjective your analogy is. I am showing you how easy it is to deflect were I to choose deflection as a means of derailing discourse.

Stick to the subject of the thread, and you will never have the need to make stuff up about what I am saying in order to avoid what I am saying, or bait me away from what I am saying. You should know by now that this doesn't work on me.

And, your curiosity notwithstanding, I don't base my views on misappropriating words to mean what they don't mean so I can whip up some extra performative outrage. And as long as you keep asking questions loaded with fallacies, you are not entitled to expectations of a serious reply.
