a tendency to assert that people are making claims that nobody appears to be making

Interesting Psued but this is what GUEST, Voices of the people did write:

I refuse to put up with any high and mighty self-appointed critics dictating what music I should or shouldn't be listening to

Having read that, or better still GUEST, Voices of the people's entire post, are you honestly trying to tell us that he was not complaining about being DICTATED to? Good luck with that, but that dog won't hunt.

Use of Italics are a very good way of highlighting what words are not my own.
