    And there you go pretending context doesn’t exist. Amazing.

    That’s not a strawman or an invention, it’s literally what the person was saying.

    You and I clearly use the word literally very differently. I use it considerably more honestly and literally than you do.

    If you can’t see the strawmanning here, you’re one or more of unselfaware, unable to back down when you’re wrong, disingenuous or malicious.

    I’m leaning towards options (b) and © here.

      You’re the one ignoring context.

      Also, you’re confusing “literal” with “verbatim.” A paraphrase doesn’t have to be verbatim to be literal, and likewise a quote can be verbatim without being literal.

      And you’re the one strawmanning.
