Actually, a strawman argument is quoting things out of context to make your point.
- rauljara 14y agoNo. A strawman is when you give your opponent an argument other than the one s/he is making and refute that instead of the real argument. In other words, you created a strawman and knocked him down, claiming victory while the real man remained standing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawman
