You are using quotation marks as if though I said those words.
quote (kwəut) verb
1. to repeat the exact words of a person as they were said or written.

- greendestiny_re 10y agoI'd cede the point if the topic was abstract philosophy or my comment was intentionally vague, but neither of those are true. What I said and what pcwalton argued against have nothing in common, except two out of 13 words: "any" and "them", which means pcwalton simply made up 84.62% of that statement. Why? It makes for a handy strawman so he can appear intellectually superior.
