. So unless Gt27mustang quoted someone's argument and twisted it to mean something else, I'm not sure that allegation is very accurate.
Don't worry The Composer, I'm not a native english speaker, I ďon't even understand what "strawman" argument means exactly. 😊
Here's to help.
In debates, there are a few techniques that are heavily discouraged because they don't actually help the debate, but they are things that happen regularly, in politics, in forums, in sports or whatever.
1. The Strawman. A strawman argument is where a person creates a caricature of the opponents argument and make arguments against the caricature and not actually arguing against what the person you are debating is actually saying.
2. The Ad Hominym. This is a flat out rude technique. Basically you are insulting a person to discredit what they're saying. It's going "this person is a big doo-doo head and a doo-doo head couldn't possibly know anything about (subject)."
