Straw Man's page

Yeeeesssssss

Quote:

Referring to a statement as a "strawman" means you think it is logically flawed.

Not really, it just means you don't think its their position.

Person A: If you let houses in a bad area get run down its going to encourage people to wear then down faster through vandalism and squatting.

Person B: So what, one broken window and the next day commie mutant illiterates move in?

Person A: I never said that.

Person C: That isn't what person A said, so its a strawman. A strawman is a misrepresentation of a persons position, whether the misrepresentation itself is logical or not. Now i'm on the homeowners association and i DO think that one broken window does lead to commie mutant illiterates the next day.

Honestly, I've been making up so much stuff on these boards I don't even remember any of the original positions.

Oh yeah. This thread looks comfy right here.

Taking away someone's ability to text at will is no different than banning them from eating Doritos at the table. Since eating unhealthy food is a STAPLE of tabletop gaming, anyone advocating removing this is the rude one!

So, um, hello.

Great to see everyone again!

Not as much as mine are, Jack.

Some of you really love me.

So, like, we're just putting the blame on me for anything we want now?

Unbelievable.
