Did you miss my point, or did you deliberately ignore it?

You snipped part of my text in which I discussed how I like to split
long for loops.  You then insinuated that I personally don't care
about complex loops written on one line, after I clearly demonstrated
that I do, and you hid the evidence.

I'm asking you to stop doing that kind of thing.

I'm making a point, not about technical disagreements, but about you,
deliberately or otherwise, misrepresenting what I've written.
