It’s a bad interpretation but you are, or course, welcome to it

I’m merely reiterating the position of the poster you replied to.

You can disagree with that position, but you seemed to be replying to a position that nobody was even taking.

I am not, you just haven’t understood the position. But that’s fine.

You were clearly arguing against a position that nobody here took.

That means you either lack the reading comprehension to understand what was stated, or you’re purposefully creating a strawman to argue against.

I’ve explained in detail, you’ve not understood the explanation and taken an illogical stance.

I can’t help you out of a hole you’ve put yourself in. It’s okay to disagree though, you don’t have to lower yourself to ad hominems.

Why complain about ad hominems after attacking me? You’re the one who lowered the level of the discourse - why are you complaining now?

Can you quote where I attacked you?

Of course, I’d be happy to!

It was when you questioned my comprehension of the argument that was being made instead of the argument itself by saying “you just haven’t understood the position.”

That’s literally an ad hominem.

No that was an observation. I’m not judging you for it, I don’t think you’re of poor character due to it.

You however did attack my character. Ironically because once again you’ve misunderstood the situation.
