??? who and why were you quoting then???
The reader of my post, basically
I used the quotes to format potential counterarguments that I'd expect to run into among our comrades so I can respond to them (though it's really just a strawman for me to knock down)
I hope it's obvious to u/goodguywithacat in particular that my response is supporting their post
ah when i do that i usually put like "preempting arguments" or something like that to make that clear, sorry for my confusion
Nah no need to apologize, glad we cleared it up. I'll call this one "RedSailsFan got a bit thrown off by my formatting" unless the couple dozen people who up voted me were doing it cause they misunderstood too? (You all speak now pls! (They're not gonna read this))
...aaaaand POST!
Hey, I read this!
And yeah, made sense, it was quoting the imaginary person reading. Like me. As I am your long lost imaginary friend Wumbo the Wuthering Weasel.
