Sure, as soon as you find an example of my altering your statements I'll happily retract it. 

To establish your point, you need to 1) present the quote you think was altered. Then 2) present my alteration, so every one can see what was altered. That is how you demonstrate someone "made you say something you didn't say."

Like this:

1. Dill, Post # 335: But it's not there if no one says it out loud while resuscitating the classic three-centuries old defense of slavery--What about the Africans: THEY did it first, to themselves.

2. SSF, Post # 350 "Wait, what?  Who in this thread 'defended slavery'?!" and 353:"You claimed someone defended slavery."

Your first statement makes an implicit claim which the second makes explicit. A claim that someone resuscitated an argument used to defend slavery is not the same as claiming that someone also used it to defend slavery. Instead of telling you to "look again," I can specify how you altered my point, then demanded I defend your alteration.  

Your turn.

Who wrote these declarative, accusatory statements then?

Your "question" being premised on your claim I said someone defended slavery, i.e., your alteration of my claim.

LOL so why didn't this "suffice" from Post # 351?
