To be fair to him, you accused him of saying something he didn't.

  No, I didn't, I rephrased what he wrote in terms that more obviously illustrate the absurdity of the argument he's making.

    Some times when you rephrase an argument, it becomes a different argument. Some times when this happens, we call it a strawman argument.
    • diminoten 12y ago
      No, we call it a strawman if it's not an accurate equivalent. If it's accurate, it's not a strawman, such as in this situation.

        Your reply had literally no connection to any of the words in my post except, presumably, in your imagination. Can you lay out its accuracy for us? Obviously we're curious how you made the jumps in logic you did, and it appears you left some words out.
