> I've put no words in your mouth.

Yes you have. You have made the implication that I'm asking you to act according to my wishes/opinions. I can hold an opinion without asking you to act according to my wishes/opinions. I hope you can see the difference. I don't know how to express it so it comes across more clearly.



Quite clearly we are discussing your opinion and I've never claimed you're demanding we act according to your wishes. You are the one putting words in people's mouths.


The failure to recognize this distinction seems inherently linked to an authoritarian mindset.


Yes, it is quite telling that they conflated me challenging their opinion with that.
