16. Just want to remind you that your rhetorical question was of a position I had not taken.

If as you admit "no, you never said that violence happened there" then why ask me for proof of it?
Ah it was a rhetorical question. So you asked me a question about a position that I never made knowing full well I didn't have an answer for a position I never made.
Ah Dang you got me!
And that was,,,,smart?
It is on me to provide evidence of a presumption that I had never presumed?
This is like seriously funny.
The fact that it took you hours to compose this after you deleted your previous post makes me want to see how bad that one was if you thought this was a good enough one to keep.
