Sitting sometimes is good, sitting always is not.

Not the OP, nor the quote from Ronin state that one should always sit

I do not mean literally sitting. The article encourages complacency (metaphorically sitting around all day) which I disagree with.

"All day" and "always" are your words, not mine, and not those of the article's author.

I'm not quoting the author's words but their mentality, which is clear to see in their post.

You can't quote a mentality, and you're not a mind-reader. You're putting words in the author's mouth, and then arguing against them. Saying it's "clear to see" is not a rational argument, it's just asking others to find your evidence for you.

It's just someone drawing conclusions based on what the author chose to write, which is common and fine.

Drawing conclusions is fine, if they're traceable to something on the page. This one started with "always" and "all day," which aren't in the post, and when that was pointed out it moved to the author's mentality. I can assign anyone any mentality I want, and it's impossible to prove me wrong.

No, they are my conclusions of what they said, which I have assumed is clear to see for others too. You are the one taking this simple interaction way too literally.

Reading someone's words as written isn't being "too literal". With a blog post, as with this thread, it's actually the only thing there is to go on.

You're not understanding metaphor and I'm not sure at this point in the comment thread I could explain it to you either.
