Down vote for "doesn't make sense". It made perfect sense to me. The phrase you were looking for is " I don't understand what you're saying."

  Then perhaps you would like to explain it? The most meaningful interpretation I can see is that the commenter completely misunderstood the nature of the "semantic witch hunt" to which he referred. It seems charitable to assume that something was lost in translation and to ask for clarification rather than to assume that the commenter was just saying something stupid.

    Very true, and such charity doesn't help the discussion. Insisting on the polite path, "I don't understand" instead of "your comment makes no sense" wrongly assumes that all comments written on forums are carefully considered and fact-checked before posting. It's taking the long way to resolution of that point, and you might never get resolution if bogged down in overly-polite discourse for fear of being "negative".

  The phrase the poster was looking for was that "the example provided was hyperbole." Your comment is far too confrontational.
