thanks for giving me a serious response. sincerely, thank you.
one example is, of course, in the post i just made.

gotcha!
in your post right there, you assumed that anything i hadn't said in my post was something i didn't have qualm with, and you did this in order to make my argument seem flimsy. in this state, it's a lot easier to take me down, huh? that's a Straw Man fallacy.
actually, you've done this previous times in this thread.

these were actually pretty infrequent, so saying you backed up your claims with "fallacious" arguments was an exaggeration, but these still stood out to me. arguing in this fashion only weakens your points.
honestly? you started out a little incendiary, but with well-thought-out criticisms, and then you started to respond to people with sarcasm and straw men. i noticed you weren't as bad about this after i posted.
(sorry if i'm getting over-analytical here)
((also i skipped over literally everybody else's posts, so apologies if someone else did the exact same thing and i failed to call them out on it. that doesn't excuse me not being fair, but i'm just trying to make a point at the moment. if there are any examples you'd like to point out, please do! i'm singling you out in this post, but i don't like anybody arguing this way))
anyway, i really mean none of this personally, tyvon. this just really gets to me. sam liked to post and talk to me in the same ways, and even though he would always pin it down in conversation as "the way he talked" and that he "didn't mean anything" with it, i could never find it in me to trust him.
