    Cathy?

    You did a pretty good impression of her with the “so you’re saying” followed by something not even close to what I was saying, so I called a spade a spade. If you don’t like it, try arguing in good faith and honestly instead of strawmanning.

    So I’ll assume you’re also not arguing in good faith either

    Projection.

        One of us wrote an entire comment that contained nothing but a lie and personal attack, and it wasn’t me.

        Edit: Facts make y’all real mad, lol.

            Calling out strawmanning is literally not a personal attack, it’s an attack on the dishonesty of the argument.

            Comparing someone who is strawmanning to an actual person (read: not a generic pejorative like calling someone a “Karen”, for example) who literally became infamous for blatantly and shamelessly strawmanning during a public interview, is also not a personal attack, especially when the basis of the comparison is something they literally just did, not something I’ve accused them of without evidence or something.

              Who are you referring to? Because it definitely read like you were using a “generic perjorative term like calling someone a ‘Karen’”. Judging by the responses, I think this is how most people took it as well.
