Thanks for letting me know about the quote rule! While "pernicious" is IMO overdramatized, avoiding that shorthand is a sensible-enough community practice for a venue where people often skim and get heated about things; I won't repeat it.
I still think you're reading a lot into this thread that is not there, and ratcheting this up to the level of accusations of dishonesty is a pretty interesting/illuminating choice. However, I don't actually have a dog in the fight; consider all points ceded.
Not interested in deflection, and not interested in passive aggressive quips like "is a pretty interesting/illuminating choice", either.

To reiterate the background for this discussion: a participant in this thread went a step further than what you're saying here and literally* wrote things in that weren't really there.
