So you're taking something I have not said and shoving it down my throat. This seems like a reasonable approach to discussion.....

Is there any point of me saying anything if you're just gonna reply to whatever you imagined I've said?

It was what you were suggesting as you have only acknowledged the existence of those on the left. You always speak as though rioters, opportunistic or otherwise, are only a right-wing issue. Both have their troublemakers.

Actually you are completely wrong. I've said that most rioters are opportunistic, I never actually specifically said anything about the left and I didn't say it didn't apply to the right either.

Once again, you've responded, not to what I actually wrote but what you imagined I wrote. I'm getting quite tired of it, you need to work on knowing the difference between what people actually write and mean and what you want them to mean because your entire argument in this thread rests on your incorrect assumption.

Not imagined - it is called reading between the lines of what is said, what is not said and what is suggested. As a mod on this site for many years you are well aware of that as you are pretty good at misinterpreting other peoples’ words when it suits. Pot and kettle over and over again. Same ol, same ol.

There's reading between the lines and then there's making up what I've said to suit your argument. You're guilty of the latter.

And of course you include a personal attack. Can't just admit you're wrong, can you?

Coz I’m not! Funny that I have just read a post about you attempting to read peoples’ minds and putting words in mouths.. A pattern and a long-standing one at that.

You made out that it was democracy that elected Trump whilst failing to mention the dubious aspects of the election or the fact that the democratic process is not immune to being corrupted even if someone was elected.

Aw, thank you for admitting you were wrong, I appreciate it.
