What lesuorac did -- redefine the word "decades" in my comment to include just 5 elections (pretending that presidential races weren't "called" on election night back in the 1960's and earlier) -- is an example of that unnamed phenomenon. Doing it is ok, calling it out isn't?
"distorting reality and forcing them to question their own judgment"

- listenallyall 3y agoAgain, I don't see you reprimanding lesuorac, who committed the initial violation: Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith. He deliberately reduced "decades" to 5 elections for the express purpose of weakening the argument and making it easier to criticize ("sample size of garbage").
- tptacek 3y agoI'm just a random commenter responding to a false statement you made that happened, also, to violate a clear guideline we have. I'm not an admin. I'm not reprimanding anybody.
