"I hate seeing homeless people trying to cope with being homeless"

This is called a number of things:

putting words in someone's mouth
mis-using quotation marks
a straw man

He didn't say that. He said he hates to see homeless people in there jerking off and doing drugs.

Respond to that. Don't respond to something else that so heavily distorts what the other guy said. There's no point, other than to sacrifice anything valuable the conversation could have been into being a play about how morally superior you are.

Ugh.

Was going to say the same thing, only you said it much nicer then I would have.
