I think the Strawman deal is a U.K. thing, because I never hear people over here using it in regular conversations. It's also just one of those cool things to say in an argument, kind of like Ad Hominem.
Don't worry neecap, no one's getting too serious, it's just that Queue can be a bit weird sometimes.

Why am I not surprised? Have you ever made a serious post, Queue? In living memory that is?
3800+ post and counting, and not a single one worth a damn.

To be honest if you took away strawman and ad hominen then the internet would basically be about three sentences

That sounds... unsanitary.

Er, strawman and ad hominem are logical fallacies. Strawman is when you argue against a point the other person wasn't making, ad hominem is when you attack the person instead of their argument. In other words, two fallacies that abound on this forum.
