From the HN guidelines: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

So this is the "strongest plausible interpretation" of my behavior?

Get off your high horse buddy. The HN guidelines don't mean you can't call a spade a spade. What was said was so blatantly false that it's reasonable to assume it's a lie IMO, and now you've started a shit fight because you didn't like that I took just a modicum of liberty.

Congrats in your successful troll. But I won't make that mistake with you again.
