My favourite genre of post: present a strawman in the form of a question, then scoff at how ridiculous the strawman question is.

How is it a straw man? It's a clear implication of your words. Explain how else your position could be interpreted.

It’s a clear implication of your words

"You didn't say it, but I have decided it's what you meant" Totally not a strawman

Explain how else your position could be interpreted.

Try actually reading what I said, rather than trying to concoct some absurd, bad faith 'interpretation.'

I did. Twice now. Given the context, there is no other interpretation. Go ahead and downvote this too. It won't make you right, but I bet it makes you feel like you won something.

At least mine isn't stuck in a box. You gotta let it breath bro.
