Right, I agree, he certainly did not express sentiment in favor of such barbarity, and I never claimed he did. Which is exactly why I wrote to the contrary: "I doubt that Mab was hoping for something this horrendous. Mab hasn't elaborated. I certainly hope he wasn't." I wasn't being either sarcastic or snide. I simply meant what I wrote. Where's the strawman?
Maybe strawman is the wrong fallacy. Slippery slope?
Its a poor way to argue anyway.
You don't think he actually meant what he did not write but you can't be sure of it?
Essentially, yes. I could not be sure until Mab elaborated further. There was indeed a muddy slope, and I was trying hard not to slide down it into unjustified conclusions.
