You never fail to miss the point.
I see what you are doing here....
No "sweetheart", I don't think that you do.
You missed the context and application. They even gave examples for you:
Examples:
*”Liberal”: We’ve heard about these conservatives and their tax “relief”.
*”Conservative”: The liberals have proposed yet another form of “common-sense” gun control.
*”Libertarian”: We’re disappointed with the liberals’ and conservatives’ “inclusive” debate.
Scare quotes are used for words and phrases commonly used by those being mocked. Liberals do indeed often use the phrase “common-sense gun control”.
I have *never* used *any* of the phrases you put in so-called “scare quotes”.
I see what you are doing here and other reasonable Freepers can as well. I wish you a pleasant day.
That's why I used the very word scare quotes, here.
Babbling about things like (scare quotes, rhetoric) “muh peer review” and “dirty dozen misinformation” and “science deniers” isn’t going to cut it.
You later tried a comeback with
"You keep using that phrase, “scare quotes”. I do not think it means what you think it means:
I then went to your OWN SOURCE and the FIRST SENTENCE said "Scare quotes is a general term for quotation marks used for purposes other than to identify a direct quotation."
You then followed up by saying I was taking it out of context, and that you'd never used the phrases I put in scare quotes.
Right. That's the reason I used the words "scare quotes" NEXT TO THEM. Which even your own source refuting me says to do when indicating something is not literal.
You never fail to miss the point.
