No, remember, although I used a quote that was technically taken out of context, for which I think I apologized for, the point was actually correct

No you did not apologize for it, and I showed in a later post (after having looked into the site itself rather than taken your word for what it said) that the sentence following the one you posted clarified their position - they never said "price increases are not inflation":
---------------------------------------------------
Similarly, the essence of inflation is not a general rise in prices but an increase in the supply of money, which in turns sets in motion a general increase in the prices of goods and services

mises.org
-----------------------------------------------------

The first part, starting with "similarly..." is what you posted. What follows, in bold, is what you have missed.

But Mises clearly states:
"From this we an conclude that inflation is a general increase in the money supply."


Oh for the love of heavens. Inflation is a rise in prices. That's how it's calculated. Get over it.

After that, one may talk about whether or not increasing money supply TRIGGERS inflation...
