This is one example of what I call playing with words. Detaching the
words from their meaning and contexts and move them around to make a
new story.
When someone made conclusion based exactly on an argument I previously
described as a fallacious pitfall in several postings, I just said
that. As long as that someone clarified his reasoning again, we are
fine. There is absolutely nothing personal about it. When did this
become your business?
