"I know what you said, and I know what you meant:" Maybe. No real proof of that. "No need to insult my intelligence any further by repeating the same "guessing" bulls--t." That moves it out of the realm of being a straw man argument, Tenchu. I never claimed you said it, which is essential to a straw man. And this doesn't even address the issue that there wasn't even an argument. Just a comment. Now, you might have had a case if you maintained I was setting up a reductio ad absurdem argument and claimed there was an implied argument there. It would have been weak, but at least it would be a closer classification. Again, 'straw man argument' is a technical term with a precise meaning. It doesn't mean 'I don't agree with that'...
