> we should use our rationality both to make sense of the world and to shape the world so it is more reasonable.

Recommending that groups take revenge on one another for past behavior and wrapping it in some Orwellian term like "Asymmetric Behavior" is neither rational nor reasonable. It's immoral.

Thank goodness I have never advocated for revenge, then.

Sure there's a small delta between what you say and what others claim you say. Unless they verbatim repeat what you say there will always be a delta.

Don't pretend to don't understand the point they are making and address it.

If you believe you understand what they're saying, feel free to be explicit about it. As far as I can tell, their point is based in confusion and ignorance, and I can't address the particulars when they're cloaked in insults and vague accusations.
