Oh, I get it. You think you are demonstrating that the post you are mocking is meaningless because you can artificially insert other words to it in an arbitrary fashion that renders it meaningless? Shocking that you are being smarmy about it, but I guess that comes with the territory of not realizing the pie is in your own face.

WHOOSH! No you don't.

They're not arbitrary, nor were they inserted.

IMAX-level projection.

It's not even an argument, it's a rhetorical fallacy. There really is no good reason for you to conduct yourself this way.

It is an argument, and it's not a rhetorical fallacy.

>There really is no good reason for you to conduct yourself this way.

Maybe I was being a bit much.

I'd recommend that you use your own words to communicate your point, not others'. It's not doing you the favors you seem to think it is, especially if you are taking the position that you have contributed an argument to the discussion.
