In this one he quotes me on saying something I did not, and acts as if I did.

And again, no meaningful comment, just a snipe.

Well I can't see how any of it's flaming. Bad form, possibly - but the last one? That's a pretty common phrase round here, and it's never been acted on before.

In the right context, "I love you, too" could be a flame or flamebait, and "I like you, you're silly" has acquired a certain unstated impact, but I don't read it as flaming here.

A gentle nudge to General: Andaras is no longer AP.

As for the "mis-quoted" quote, The Atlantian Islands isn't misquoting anything anyone actually said in that thread. It seems to me he's using mild satire to summarise what he sees as a parallel between your political commitment and religious devotion.

The rule about misquotes usually relates to quotes that seem, at first glance, to be the same as the original, but are in fact deliberate misquotes with malicious intent. There's no element of deception here.
