1. There are some posts X has made which could reasonably be construed as supporting the views you expressed of her.

Ask them to find a post of X's in which she says she feels distaste for the values mentioned.

I think you will find that though many will post things "supporting the views" others "expressed of her," neither brees nor Neocon nor jla will ever find a post in which X mentions any distaste she herself has for truth, justice, human values, etc.

She believes those are human concepts, residing in the human soul, or spirit, or mind, or heart, I believe. Like love, and loyalty, and courage, for example.

That is not an expression of distaste for those values themselves.

But of course there are those who will argue that their concept of those values requires there to be an external authority for them; and will, further, make up false quotes, or attributions, to demonize the one who disagrees with them about that.

This is a case in which that was done.
