There is no strawman because I was asking a question about your position, not asserting that you held a certain position.
Please, if your position isn't what I asked, state what it is.
- anonbanker 12y agoreally? your entire defense is coming down to "it's not a strawman if it's asked in a question"? definitely adding you to the list of astroturfers on HN with that reply.
- lappa 12y agoQuestions aren't assertions, and one of the requirements for straw man is asserting you hold a position. I'm done with this discussion at this point. I don't think you really have a concrete claim regarding the topic and you are avoiding creating one by derailing the conversation by arguing my question is fallacious.
