You just didn't say it like that before. Did Bob or anyone clear this up? I'd say whoever twisted his words is selling rotten products. And also an idiot for trying to denounce him for whatever was available and would upset people. I'd still say whataboutism .. by using a lie

> Sometimes all it takes is Bob making any statement like “They’re all bastards!” absent of extremely specific context around who Bob means by “They”. Part of the whole point of this sentence is that I *am*, very intentionally, including that quote, *absent of context*. So yes, I didn't "say it like that before" - that's the point. The theoretical Bob also might not follow online conversations, or feel he owes anyone any apologies. So no, in many real cases, he will not clear anything up with anyone. In many real cases, the "full interview" will be harder to find than the selected bit that deceivers will highlight. It comes down to individuals being willing to ask clarifying questions about these partial-context presentations. This deceiver is clearly not an idiot, because they got you to say: "*Bob is only being unfair and expects people to do what he wants. Not sure if I would trust Bob when he said anything about anyone, especially when it’s about blue haired people.*". I could even extend the example: Now, another Michael who wants to generate division can come to this forum, and point to the way you describe him, and get Bob to believe you hate him, even if you were only interpreting twisted words.
