I mean, I read your post, but it basically sounded like you wanted a full reopening like Texas but allowing the people who want to wear masks to wear masks. Is that not what you're advocating for?

Maybe part of your problem is this

>basically sounded

You whittled down this persons post to a basically sounded. When you discard information you create your own vacuum. The person said nothing about a full reopening and instead was pointing out how travel should not be limited like other countries who have and are still in worse situations.

>is that not

And talking in weird negatives doesn’t help your case either.

It is indeed not a 1 on 1 copy of words but it was the contents, and trying to shy away with 'that's not what he said' is just dishonest and wilful dissonance.
