This from a poster who sometimes complains my responses are too long.
But you already know my rule on this: a serious post will get a serious response, a silly or insulting post will get... usually just a mirror image.
Your comment about using a mirror image is interesting.
Recalling the definition of mirror image:
1 a : something that has its parts reversely arranged in comparison with another similar thing or that is reversed with reference to an intervening axis or plane
b : the direct opposite
I can somewhat understand your viewing your off-axis arguments as “mirror image.”
Just remember, when you advocate the opposite of the truth you are not advocating the truth.
