Do you even know what a straw man is, much less a logical fallacy? My post was neither. How did I mis-represent your argument? Or put words in your mouth? This is what you said. Whether they actually trained in an ISIS training camp, or whether they were simply inspired by ISIS, doesn't really matter, does it? If it doesn't matter in this case, why does it matter in the case that I mentioned? The Colorado Springs shooter was obviously inspired by the rhetoric generated by that faked video. Others were clearly inspired by anti-abortion and anti-PP rhetoric. That cannot be denied unless you want to say they were lying about their motivations. This isn't a straw man. And it isn't a logical fallacy. Neither of which, I might add, you show any sign of really understanding what they mean. It is just applying your logic to other cases. Unless you can make a logical argument that your statement does not apply outside of the established bounds, that is. Can you make that argument? Here is a little hint, "because I say so" isn't a logical argument in this case.
