> intentionally misleading
I think what's wrong with this conversation is that you think you can correctly attribute malice to the opinions of complete strangers simply because you don't agree with them.
This will get you into trouble more often than not.
Did you notice how I didn't accuse you of intentionally adding nothing to the conversation or intentionally being obtuse?
That's because I don't know you at all and therefore I don't claim to know anything about your intentions. As a matter of fact, even after this very ridiculous conversation, and although I haven't the slightest clue of what your actual intentions are, I still give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that your intentions are noble, (albeit clearly based on incorrect assumptions).
That's the difference between you and I.
