    You’ve got the wrong person. The only thing I did was deliver to you the dictionary definition of the word mutilate. I made no other claims, expressions, or comments on the topic at hand.

    You have shifted to a common logical fallacy called the Straw Man argument. This attempt has failed.

    This conversation is over.

      So, let me see if I understand you…

      You post the definition of “mutilation” in response to a previous comment…

      …I assumed, in good faith…that that was your position on that topic (because why else would you have posted it?)

      …and now you’re attempting to distance yourself from that position, by pretending that I’m the one misrepresenting what you posted?

      Buddy…that is a form of strawman argument. You’re now intentionally misrepresenting your own position, in order to misrepresent my response to it.
