Correction: I said that you told a fib about what previous statements
I have made. I never said what you think I said. You keep twisting
and paraphasing what I write into something that I didn't write, all
the while neglecting to provide direct quotes.

And sometimes take statements made in a forum such as this as meaning
what they don't say....

Thought experiments and hypotheticals exist. There is no shame in
mistaking one for a statement of fact (presumably because the author
was unclear) but puonding on the author after dozens of posts
explaining that it was a thought experiment / hypothetical is...
well, you can supply your own description.
