This is "whataboutism" and you should not do it.

This is exactly as much whataboutism as the comment I replied to...if you ignore my second sentence.

How was the comment you replied to whataboutism? Please, elaborate. I want to understand how you think.

Upon consideration, it wasn't so much whataboutism as it was hyperbole. Which was the entire point of my original comment.

I'll continue to use you as my guiding light. Or not.
