A strawman does not rise to the level of an argument.

Strawmen, elephant hurling, etc, are just disruptive tactics designed to stifle debate.

Did you ever see an arguement you didn’t like that wasn’t a strawman? Of all the possible logical fallacies someone could possible engage in, that appears to be the only one anyone who’s ever disagreed with you has ever committed, and every last one of them is guilty of it.
