These illiberal trolls have discovered a sophomoric rhetorical trick that their little minds think is so very clever. I see it all the time now and makes me gag a little. If you dare to make a statement and use a little hyperbole to emphasize your point, valid hyperbole because, for instance, you couldn’t stand the idiocy of one-way shopping aisles or masking while surfing or having to mask at a restaurant unless you were seated at a table, and this made you feel virtually locked in your house because the world outside has become so stupid, then the troll will say “this never happened.” The troll thinks he’s won because while 98% of what you said was 100% true but 2% was exaggerated for effect (“we were shut in our houses.”)
It’s a child’s argument and shows us just who we are dealing with.
And what’s with the useless comma in his dopey response? Surely an artifact of our covid education system.
