[Closed] An internet post written for STW.....

Priceless 😀

I bet this strikes a cord with some on here:

[i]“It’s been a full-time job, so I’m lucky that I have the kind of full-time job where they assume if I’m typing I’m working.”[/i]

STRAW MAAAAN...... you know who you are guys....

spent shouting “STRAW MAN!” at each other.

*searches 'straw man' on forum* - laughs.

The Daily Mash never fails to brighten my day. It's the best satirical current affairs about.

I like this one:

“Sometimes, when the kids have gone to bed, my husband and I open a bottle of wine and watch that Ken Loach film Cathy Come Home where her children are forcibly taken into care by Social Services. I do love a happy ending.”

Straw Man and cut n paste assaults there can be only one 😉

😆

😆

Obviously, I'll need a graph to explain why, so here you are.

what's this straw man business ❓

Straw man, ad hominum. I honestly thought there was only one who regularly used that stuff. It's obviously an internet forum favourite*

*needs Wikipedia research to confirm.

Amateurs.

This is what I think of your graph CFH.

Is that a Top Gear designed Graph?

Interesting or rather unsurprising is who uses the terms Straw Man and Ad Hom the most on here when I searched for the number of uses.

Is TJ an editor on daily mash?

Thats not a graph, it's a bell curve.

Go on then, spill the beans mr moderator (I presume it doesn't count posting pictures 😉 )

My search shows that it's Mr. Junkyard 😉

Clearly we need to expand our logical fallacy vocabulary.

[i]"Straw Man"[/i] and [i]"Ad Hominem"[/i] are all very well, but what about [i]"Tu Quoque[/i]", [i]"No True Scotsman"[/i] and the [i]"Texas Sharpshooter"[/i]?

Junkyard does say those things the most, but ya know what... He's often right.
