It seems to me that "jailed" and "punished" are interchangeable synonyms here that don't change the meaning of anything. There was no "tactic" involved, merely an innocent switching of the two words in my mind. Hence no, I was never trying to put words in your mouth.

I'm not sure why you have decided to take such a simple debate so personally... Gotta love the baseless ad hominem attacks.
And you give yet another example of not fully reading, understanding, or processing what you're responding to; you missed a sentence:

There's plenty of other examples in the discussion above if you want to look for them; I'm not going to spoon-feed them out further, but that one is easily demonstrated, if merely picking nits in and of itself (choice of terms).
I already admitted that the specific example used was meaningless when I made it. There are others if you care to find them, they are just marginally more subtle. That one is simply very easy to demonstrate.

Now, to be fair, I did make that post in anger; most of your posts don't do that. When you're helping someone with the game, or discussing the game, you do an excellent job. I apologize for not putting that caveat in earlier.

I'm attacking your debate behavior and tactics, not you personally. The meat of it is not an attack against you, personally. Granted, in my anger, I did use negative-connotation words in relation to you mixed in with the actual arguements. I apologize for that aspect. The meat of the point still stands, and you demonstrate it yet again.
