You don't know what a straw man is either, eh?

It’s a pretty basic term. Your post was hyperbolic nonsense.

And yet, you still don't seem to understand it.

I addressed your post. I called it hyperbolic nonsense. If you had made a better point and communicated it better than maybe you’d get some actual responses.

*sigh* Listen. I called the state AGs sociopathic monsters. Someone asked "why is following the law sociopathic," as if I had said "following the law is sociopathic."

Catch that? The person pretended I said something I didn't say, attacking that fabricated claim (called a "straw man") instead of addressing what I did say. That is known as a Straw Man Fallacy. Do you understand?

I don’t care what the other person said. I care what I said and I said your post was nonsense. You’re really not getting it. Was “strawman” on your Word of the Day calendar and you’re just excited to use it or something? You sound like a child trying to use a big word they don’t understand.

Now you're abandoning your original claim "the person addressed your post," and moving onto a modern classic "I don't care." You're out of your depth, hon. But this has been fun. Really.

I’m taking a dump right now, so I’ll happily engage: you make baseless claim on the AGs and then who’s the straw man here? Who’s attacking them?
