“prefer to talk about politics, at work?” To answer your question, no, they did not say that.

Seems like the GP tried https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Just_asking_questions and failed

I find it incredibly funny that you'd find an innocuous question about someone's post to be some kind of sinister rhetorical strategy.

Its also very funny that anyone would consider the contents of a question about a post to be "putting words in their mouth". I am absolutely authentically curious about why someone would take the extremely funny step of appearing to rail against politics being discussed at work - by complaining about a "political" issue that's happening at their work.

I find it incredibly funny that you deceptively try to put words in people’s mouths by “asking questions” Then are dumb enough to keep trying your failed “ask questions” trick. Also your sense of humor is highly underdeveloped. Go watch some Curb your enthusiasm or something.
