Here is the a recent claim of yours, yes using quotation marks,that I wrote something I did not, right here on this thread:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/4089955/posts?page=104#104

On another thread, one of the times you did it, you tried to weasel of it by claiming “scare quotes” and then proving you don’t really understand what scare quotes are, or how to use them. Anyone could see what you were doing: trying to make other Freepers believe I had written things I never wrote.

As for your creative “paraphrasing” ...

You are the one doing all the name calling and “get rekt” and on and on. It looks like flame warring to me, and stalking me from thread to thread. I asked you to stop.

Maybe you need to have a nice glass of iced tea or something and cool off. It’s a hot day.

You're trolling again. I didn't "attempt to weasel out" you lying troll. My original post in that thread, which you objected to, used the exact phrase "scare quotes" literally. I didn't drag in the words 'scare quotes' after the fact, as your accusation above misleadingly implies.

Then you apparently did a Google Search for the words scare quotes and posted a link which attempted to prove I didn't know what 'scare quotes' meant.

But the very first sentence of YOUR link, said that they were quotes around words, indicating that the words were not supposed to be taken literally.

Which is exactly how I used them, when I posted the phrase ("scare quotes", rhetoric) next to the words I paraphrased.
