Tacti son, there is something you need to understand.

A strawman is not a logical fallacy.

Its simply a disruptive slight of hand that people use when they don’t have a real argument.

When your out in the woods with friends and someone sees a bear they just say ‘Bear!’.

Nobody goes into details of why its a bear.

I suggest you try to avoid getting your knickers in a knot every time someone calls you on your slight of hand.

Who's defintion of "logical fallacy" are we using, and where can I find a reference that backs up that assertion?

I suggest you make your own arguments, instead of everyone elses.
