No, it isn’t. The best thing you could call it is ad hominem, and even then you’d be wrong.

Yes it is, you’re constructing an argument that im not making and then arguing against that instead of what im actually saying. It’s actually textbook strawman.

No, actually, but you clearly have very poor reading comprehension so it doesn’t seem like I’ll be getting through to you.
Just know, when you use terms like strawman incorrectly you look fucking stupid.

Okay, whatever you need to tell yourself little buddy.
If ‘winning’ internet arguments is that important to you can go ahead and chalk this one up as a win if that makes you feel better about yourself. 😉
