That's usually called taking things to the extreme.

2020-11-17 02:18:24 UTC  

@Whithers yes, if it's your own position they are misrepresenting.

2020-11-17 02:18:28 UTC  

reason im here i like what your selling

2020-11-17 02:18:58 UTC  

In between black and white there are 10,000 shades of color, but they still fall to one side or the other.

2020-11-17 02:19:20 UTC  

Or if they are misrepresenting something that was agreed upon as someone else's position.

2020-11-17 02:19:30 UTC  

I like to understand the actual arguments of my opposition.

2020-11-17 02:19:35 UTC  

So I don't strawman them.

2020-11-17 02:19:50 UTC  

So I don't take their position for an extreme position.

2020-11-17 02:20:08 UTC  

I can sometimes point out their position can lead to extreme outcomes.

2020-11-17 02:20:28 UTC  

Straw man is a specific thing. It's not about your opinion of their opinion. It's deliberately misrepresenting what their opinion is so you can attack the misrepresentation.

Used to have a 1st Sgt that would say, clean is clean. If it isn't clean, it's dirty. Right is right, if it isn't right, it's wrong.

2020-11-17 02:21:16 UTC  

1st sgts love aphorisms. Brevity is the soul of wit.

2020-11-17 02:21:24 UTC  

What if their opinion isn't reality?

2020-11-17 02:21:31 UTC  

dont get caught up the whats being said to much...just be you and everthing works out

2020-11-17 02:21:43 UTC  

Aye.

2020-11-17 02:22:04 UTC  

The show today was somewhat contentious, as I think Rob took a more practical approach.

2020-11-17 02:22:16 UTC  

So both sides were a little upset.

2020-11-17 02:22:29 UTC  

that a good thing

2020-11-17 02:22:41 UTC  

Doesn't matter whether their opinion isn't reality. That's what you're arguing against.

2020-11-17 02:22:50 UTC  

@osok Yeah, I can't go with that. There are conditions which prevent "being you" from being a good thing.

2020-11-17 02:22:59 UTC  

or at least a tolerated one.

2020-11-17 02:23:17 UTC  

Lmao everyone got pissed.

2020-11-17 02:23:31 UTC  

Believe me, I know they did.

2020-11-17 02:23:57 UTC  

Better to notice a Straw man or play devils advocate then to accept ones argument as the complete truth with no substance to back it up.

2020-11-17 02:24:18 UTC  

and ...so what if they did...

2020-11-17 02:24:53 UTC  

Haha, Robert is lurking.

2020-11-17 02:25:05 UTC  

Some arguments can't be evaluated with quantifiable substance.

2020-11-17 02:25:08 UTC  

You can never Win an argument when someone knows they are wrong. Yet continues to argue.

2020-11-17 02:25:11 UTC  

Don't feel too bad about it Rob, it was a great show.

2020-11-17 02:25:28 UTC  

Thanks @Maw and thanks for all your help today. I'm still shocked at the numbers, wow.

2020-11-17 02:25:45 UTC  

Yeah, I was pretty stunned as it kept climbing by 1k.

2020-11-17 02:25:54 UTC  

the rockstar is in the house

2020-11-17 02:26:04 UTC  

I watched them all lose it one by one. It was priceless. That's how you know you're doing it right.

2020-11-17 02:26:09 UTC  

Yea think you need to get few more peoples to help Maw with the chat lol

2020-11-17 02:26:13 UTC  

Hi @osok welcome!

2020-11-17 02:26:21 UTC  

What are you going to do when your day job is a pathetically paying avocation?

2020-11-17 02:26:43 UTC  

Of course Robert, always happy to help.

2020-11-17 02:26:54 UTC  

I want to see the community grow too!

2020-11-17 02:27:08 UTC  

I know @Shitty Kitty going to need some support for @Maw I think!

2020-11-17 02:27:20 UTC

2020-11-17 02:27:21 UTC
