"The use of strong misreadings is part of an attempt to heroize and
villianize certain thinkers or groups in the construction of your own
narrative of what's going on."
Paul asked:
It might help to point that out in advance; without doing so I think
deliberate misreading becomes misrepresentation doesn't it?
dmb says:
It seems to me that "strong misreadings" are misrepresent the case whether
one warns in advance or not. I mean, how can such a practice be construed as
fair or honest? How is it NOT cheating? How is it different than a
distortion or a lie? When is talk of heros and villians anything other than
fiction?
I'm serious. This is one of those pragmatic practices that strike me as
wildly controversial - at best.
