I did not misquote i re-phrased. I did not lie at any time. People often time re-phrase in the form of a question to clarify a point. It is not lying to do that. Your being deceptive.

Yeah.... just as they post long missives (like post 349) without attribution... while trying to pass the work off as their own.

No... it happens all the time...

No... really...

A dog... yeah, it was a dog...

A dog ate my homework...

Yeah... yeah, that's it....

Nobody saw me do it....

Really...

And you call me deceptive? Good grief.

If you're going to re-phrase, doesn't it make sense to re-phrase in such a way that the original speaker agrees? If the original speaker does not agree, then isn't it a misquote on it's face?

It's a re-phrase to you- and you are well aware that the original speaker would NOT agree with it... hence it is clearly you who is being deceptive, I merely pointed it out.
