Did you rush right out and preorder _Hogwarts Legacy_ so you could enjoy the Type 1s and their re-voiced bartender, too?

I remember dealing with a screwhead on reddit like that guy in the end who tries putting words into your mouth to make it seem you said something bad. So what I did was I copied my entire paragraph, dissected each sentence, interpreted each sentence, and then checked if what I said in each sentence matched his claims. Then I asked him "So where did your claim about me come from?" He never replied back. That's all it takes to deal with these nutjobs. If they claim you did or said something wrong, show them line by line that you didn't. Then challenge them to prove what they said about you is true. Crush and shame them with logic🤣🤣🤣
