lol at the straw man argument. My friend, this is a public forum full of opinions, it’s not moderated as to “form” or “function” in our speech, it’s not peer reviewed such that experts analyze our statements. It’s very simply..., opinions. And anybody who brings “OJ” into a discussion, while simultaneously calling another out over usage of informal fallacious speak fails to abide by the same set of rules he expects from others.

Bottom line, what other ppl do wrt their interpersonal relationships ain’t none of my business. Doubly so for royalty, Hollywood elites and professional athletes. I’m just not a pitchforker. But..., to each their own.

You don't seem to understand what I even mean by "straw man". It's not about a "form of speech". I don't care if you write like Shakespeare, or big bubba down the street. Your straw man was arguing that Neither Thomas nor Jenkins has advocated for violence, when that is not the argument anyone was making. My OJ comment was very clearly an analogy (which I specifically stated) to explain how one doesn't have to "be there" in order to draw certain conclusions. I thought of the most likely real life situation that I thought you'd be familiar with to make an analogy. I don't think that's rocket science, friend. And I think you knew exactly what I was doing. So, with all due respect, I'd appreciate it if you'd spare me the drivel about this being a public forum, and not peer reviewed, and holding people to a different standard than myself. None of that had anything to do with what I said.
