Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I like how you totally changed what you said, put it in quotes, and then did the exact same thing to me. This is a great example of a straw man: take what your interlocutor said, turn it into an extreme pantomime farce, and then bat it down. Feel better?
I was paraphrasing both OP and yourself to create a farce, yes. Because farces are funny. It was a joke, not a clever and cutting rhetorical maneuver.
So, yeah, sucks a little that you took it so personally, but I do feel pretty good about it.
You “paraphrased” what you said to be more reasonable than what you actually said, and “paraphrased” what I said to be less reasonable than what I actually said. Gee, neat trick.
