  • Then almost any blatant lie would be gaslighting, which I don't think fits the meaning. My understanding is there are more necessary attributes for a situation to be "gaslighting", mainly the manipulation and dependency.

    If someone lies about what they said in writing (in the age of internet archive of all things) it's just a plain lie, and a dumb one at that.

  • How is that not just lying?

    Gaslighting (if my understanding is correct) is manipulating someone. Making someone question their own sanity, blaming them, isolating from other people and making them dependent on you.

    Lying on the internet to win a stupid argument with a stranger hardly can even start to measure to that.

  • My advice wasn't about reading comprehension, so taking my advice would just make my writing clearer. As far as I can tell I was quite respectful and haven't insulted you at any point.

    And gaslighting has a very specific meaning, it's not a "get out a discussion" free card. I cited everything I was commenting about.

  • I said absolutely nothing about free pass and Saudi Arabia - where are you getting that?

    Well, absolutely nothing...

    Thats why Saudi Arabia is so fascinating - if they drag middle east out of swamp of incompetence they could make Israel redundant and take away its free pass.
