    You can’t answer my question because you don’t have an answer, and the reason for that is that you know you’re lying and can’t admit it.

    I asked a very simple, direct, and straightforward question. It’s not a loaded question, it’s very much relevant, and it’s literally the reason why we’re having the discussion. I’m literally asking you to back up your claims, and you just can’t do it.

    Unlike you, I actually gave my explanation. I actually provided examples and went in depth, and I gave you multiple chances to do the same, but you chose not to. The fact that you’re trying so hard to weasel out of this question like greasy rat instead of just directly addressing it tells me that you won’t ever actually provide anything ever.

    At this point I’m 95% sure you’re a troll.

            A strawman is a specific fallacy where a person intentionally misinterprets someone’s agruement and then agrues against that misinterpretation. I did no such thing. Again, read the link you posted.

              Intention is not normally considered a necessary condition for the characterization as a straw man.

              Regardless of the specific term, any misrepresentation or misinterpretation is equally counterproductive regardless of intention.

              Instead of defending your intention, perhaps try reflecting on whether you made any mistakes.

              Moreover, the one who offers an argument is the one whose intended meaning is relevant in discussing the argument. When someone claims you have attacked a straw man, it is best to reengage with your own intention of genuinely understanding the intention of the argument you attacked. Instead, you have dug in your heels, only interested in finding a way to prove yourself right, and to prove someone else wrong.

                Blah blah blah more incoherent ramblings from the moron who refuses to defend the very claims they’re parroting. At this point you’re just wasting my time. I can already tell that you’re full of shit, you know you are, and you have no intention of actually getting back on topic. Go troll elsewhere.
