But still, it annoys me when people are attacked by mocking something that they didn't say, but that their caricature should have said (in a more amusing branch of reality)

That's very neatly put.

I'm not dead certain it's a fair description of Vladimir Nesov said, but describes a lot of behavior I've seen. And there's a parallel version about the branches of reality which allow for easier superiority and/or more outrage.
