Please don't post unsubstantive comments here, and especially not ideological flamebait.

Is it still unsubstantive and ideological flamebait if it accurately portrays the GP's comment based on their comment history?

Yes. They are properties of your comment, not somebody else's.

I suppose I'm guilty-ish too... in a way... My ideology (the relevant one anyway) is that people should argue their case, at least briefly. But I ask/tell people to do that without a supporting argument, which always feels like an odd and somewhat dishonest thing to do. Sigh.
