Thanks for updating your comment to reflect the misquotes. However, even with the edit, it still on the whole misrepresents the editorial, or at least doesn't support its own claims. You've kept in the language regarding "twisting of words and half-truths", but no longer have anything supporting that view in your comment.

Elsewhere on HN you've made many comments regarding others furthering "fake news" by misrepresenting what's been said. If you're sincere about this, you need to do your utmost to do the same yourself. The spirit of wanting to have discussions on difficult topics is one I share, and it's very difficult with the polarizing atmosphere we currently reside in.

A couple of references I find useful to guide how I approach these types of conversations are

- Principle of Charity: http://philosophy.lander.edu/oriental/charity.html

- Rapaport's Rules: https://www.brainpickings.org/2014/03/28/daniel-dennett-rapo...

I hope you might find something there to take away as well.
