You infer that I want to yell at people... clownfight...

Erm, looks like you are the one who wants to start a fight rather than have a discussion.



So you claim, but anyone who opens up the "discussion" with "So, [misrepresentation of parent opinion], huh?"[0] is clearly not seeking a discussion and is instead seeking a clownfight. You had every opportunity to prove me wrong.

I have proved you wrong. I didn't misrepresent you. I quoted you, picking out the line which is most emblematic of your prejudice.


You strawmanned me, and then accused me of strawmanning. Enjoy your victory!


I don't think you know what a straw man is.


It's an intentional misrepresentation of an opinion, such as "So, [misrepresentation of parent opinion], huh?"


I didn't misrepresent you - the text I quoted was part of your argument. If you didn't mean it, why did you say it? If you did mean it, then why not simply stand behind it?
