It seemed clear to me that it was misinformation, intentional or not. I wasn’t presenting a false dichotomy; I was redirecting the discussion away from the tangent and back to my concern. Although their comment does nearly admit to it being intentional misinformation, I didn’t simply take that to be the case - I know other alternatives exist. So I pressed them on it for a clear yes or no.
Your comment doesn’t do the quality of discourse here any favors. I get that this can be an emotional topic but it wasn’t necessary or productive. Disagree with me that the comment is misinformation, fine, I’ll hold a conversation with you about it and hear you out. Or bring up a tangent politely, and I might even engage on that.
