I certainly do not. Go review your own posts. Playing dumb won't help you here, liar. And nice edit, but it's not up to you to decide whether misquoting me is legitimate because you feel a word I said isn't relevant to your point. Quite obviously it was relevant, as I elaborated. You're dishonest for the sake of rhetoric and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Can you help me out and explain what you’re so upset about very specifically? I feel like i’m missing something significant, I can assure you if it seems like i’m playing dumb it’s much more likely that I am actually dumb.

  "Attacks on early Algebra" is literally accurate. "Attacks on algebra" isn't. By misquoting me, twice, you turned my statement from a true one to a false one. It doesn't matter if you think they're the same. They aren't. Misquoting isn't something you get to do because of how you feel about the statements involved. It's dishonest. And it's not about how I feel. It's objectively wrong.

    it’s not literally an attack

ok so you’re upset that I simplified the quote, got it (sorry for the out of band reply, it cant nest any deeper). I should have singled out the word “attacks” because thats the bone i’m picking… no one is attacking anything, that’s reductive language that insinuates hostility towards algebra and creates this divisive rhetoric. It’s simply a curriculum change, maybe it’s a bad one… but it’s not completely illogical and I’m interested to see how it goes. Sorry if I was unclear, I can assure you I have no interest in making you look bad because I have no idea who you are. Update: “early” doesn’t change that for me, it’s not “attacks on early algebra” it’s a curriculum change “revolting liar” also seems really extreme and personal for this simple disagreement

  You're still taking the "early" out to make your rhetoric work. And justifying it by equivocating between a material misquote and a "simplified" quote. This doesn't fly anywhere. We're done here. You're a revolting liar and always will be.
