'johnklos' did not quote a single word from anyone in the comment I linked, nor a single word from my original comment you linked, let alone an entire phrase, and that was the only response he made from what I can see.
Are you confusing him with a different HN user?
You don't have to believe me, it's accessible to every passing reader right there in the comment chain...
he wrote: "If you think IPv6 is mostly pointless, I think you're unaware of the fact that a significant majority of phones already use IPv6 most of the time they're on cellular" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37051011)
As you so helpfully put it, "You don't have to believe me, it's accessible to every passing reader right there in the comment chain..." (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37056142)
Feel free to continue to deny what you wrote, how he responded, and me repeatedly showing you where quotes your words if you want - no one stop you from ignoring your own words (eventhough they're right there on display for all) ...but he used your own words in response to your own comment :)
There's no sign of 'johnklos' quoting me as you claim. It literally appears in his own words, and he even wrote it in a manner that could not possibly be confused with my style of writing. Just check my recent comment history?
Frankly, it's just impossible for there to be a 17 word phrase in that comment that can be interpreted as a quotation, even by a teenager who only started learning English.
And in any case, you are free to contact dang, or any other HN user you trust, and ask them to double check whether such a thing occurred.
You can also review HN norms, other examples of HN users quoting each other and explicitly acknowledging it, the popular dictionary definitions of 'quote', etc...
Since your HN account is nearly 11 years old I'm fairly confident you know various methods to verify these things to a reasonable degree of certainty.
Since presumably your a different person from 'warrenm', though with some degree of uncertainty due to the pseudonym, why lower your account's built up credibility with obvious low-effort trolling?
'warrenm' clearly needs some help with resolving confusion regarding HN norms, or something along those lines, not piling on and exploiting the odd comment chain at his expense.
thanks for the laughs - anyone who can straightfacedly deny what they wrote, and people referencing it such an obvious manner that you still deny must be in it for the humor value
Like I said, contact dang, or any other HN user you trust, and ask for their opinion on this 'gaslighting', on the meaning of quoting another HN user, that you believe to be happening.
If they confirm your view then post it here, because I think many passing readers would be curious in seeing it too.
