Look dude, if you want to continue to look foolish by misusing a term, that's your business. But here is a definition and an easy to read example to help you better understand the word and to identify it when it actually happens. And, no, I don't expect you to get it.1.) false dictionary definition with link proves your statments wrong TWICE now lol
by definition you in fact made a strawman argument
facts and the dictionary support my statement what do you have on your side again?
2.) this is ANOTHER strawman because I didnt claim you said that, I made an analogy that proved your original failed straw man to be even more wrong.
facts win again, tell us that "silly" line again LMAO
try to keep up
The straw man fallacy involves misrepresenting an opponent’s position to make it easier to refute. Straw man arguments often oversimplify opposing views or disregard inconvenient points in favor of points that are easy to argue against.
Examples
In many instances, the person committing the straw man fallacy highlights the most extreme position of the opposing side—for example:
Opposing argument: Teens should be taught about contraception methods so they can practice safe sex should they choose to have intercourse.
Straw man argument: Proponents of sex education want to give kids license to have sex with no consequences.
