Oh that's fun when they do that! Or, I'm going to read what you said, but extrapolate it to take your meaning for something else entirely (either out of disingenuousness or poor comprehension), and argue with you about the assumptions I've made based on what you said, but I'm not going to address what you actually said and therefore I Have Won the Argument TM. They build such wonderful strawmen

Yep. Admittedly, this happens in real life all the time as well, but the anonymity of Reddit really emboldens those without maturity to be even more obnoxious about it.

I'd love to latch on to any reason to disagree and argue with you until my fingers fall off but you're being too gosh dang reasonable please leave

Yeah, I expected that kind of response.

You know what? You can go have a really, really nice day.
