“Without a single extra word or letter, please quote my words where i said that.”

As mentioned, understanding is always in context.
In your first post you said “it is wrong to claim that posters unwilling to make floyd guilt free are not sympathetic, are supporting brutality or are “siding” with the policeman.” Can you “Without a single extra word or letter, please quote my words where i said that.”?
Of course you can’t, as I didn’t. You misunderstood my post because you read it out of context. At no point did I say what you attributed t me, and you cannot “Without a single extra word or letter, please quote my words where i said that.”
I may have misunderstood your quote becasue I read it in context.

Again, its ok that you didn’t realize I was assuming the posters I referenced were replying to the OP’s question. I get how you made your mistake, my point is that To interpret a comment, you often need to add context.

If I ask “Syag Are you hungry” And you reply “Yes”
It is fair to say “sYag said she was hungry”

Can I show “Without a single extra word or letter, please quote my words where” you said you were hungry? No I have to provide context. Sure it is possible that you were excited to Listen to a Moshe Yess album that you dug up and just announced his name and I misunderstood, so clarify. ” Oh I wasnt replying to your question about hunger, I was referring to the musician”

In whcih case I’d say “sorry I misunderstood”

Point being “Without a single extra word or letter, please quote my words where i said that.” Is not a reasonable request.

what did you mean when you said ““Also, he didn’t gasp for air, and any med student knows that someone who tells you they can’t breathe, can…””

And therefore what….?
