It's similar to phishing

If you can't be honest, at least don't lie

It’s similar with people who fall victim to phishing or phone scams; you are only perpetuating the stigma they feel by reacting like this to their situation

I think this is the full quote the most important part being:

you are only perpetuating the stigma they feel by reacting like this to their situation

They're not lying, you're either being disingenuous or an idiot

It's not a lie. The other commenter was implying that I was comparing the two on culpability and I clearly wasn't, as I explained in the comment you've replied to.

But, of course, you already knew all this and are simply trying the lazy gotcha route because you are unwilling or unable to actually discuss the topic in good faith.
