It's a distinction that doesn't require the OP to have done any such thing for the distinction to be meaningful. Making a distinction about what is or is not a reasonable inference when someone asks isn't the same thing as accusing them of anything.
- eightails 6y agoI agree, but in that case why bother? In replying with such a distinction, the assumption is that you're actually responding directly to the op, not just quoting truisms.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoThey asked. I felt it was a distinction worth making. You aren't the OP. Why do you care so much? Why do you feel compelled to engage with the words on the screen of some internet stranger who likely has a different cultural background from you and does things for reasons different from yours?

Because I like discussing things with other people, especially people who might come from different cultural backgrounds, do things differently or otherwise hold different views from me. It's often interesting and educational, helping us both to get different perspectives on things. I won't pose the obvious reversal. Given this conversation is certainly not interesting or educational, I think it's probably best if we stop here.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoYou are replying to the "obvious reversal." So, yeah, we don't need to turn it around a second time. It's already beyond silly.
