Inaccurately accusing others of presenting a 'straw man argument'. I'm not convinced everyone who uses that term really understands it.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 17/06/2020 19:57

I'm entitled to my opinion.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 17/06/2020 19:58

This is a very therapeutic thread btw, thanks OP Grin

BlusteryLake · 17/06/2020 19:58

It's very simple (I am sure it is if you have no imagination!)

That's a trivial point

Moving on

Let's park that for now

OddBoots - Be kind.

Especially when applied to something entirely unrelated to Caroline Flack

[Obviously her family have my upmost sympathy but like Lee Rigby’s mum I’m sure they don’t want their child’s memory to be used in unrelated events or for ideological purposes]

ExpletiveDelighted · 17/06/2020 20:10

When it is safe to do so.

Mumratheevergiving · 17/06/2020 20:47

How about the ‘irrelevant statistics’ counter argument - a hasty google & you can refute anything

Dozer · 17/06/2020 20:50

Dementors

justkeepmovingon · 17/06/2020 20:52

And your point was?

Greysparkles · 17/06/2020 20:54

I'm an ICU nurse...

We must have all the ICU nurses ever to grace the earth all posting recently.
Not the doctors though.

nevernotstruggling · 17/06/2020 20:56

@WellTidy that's a good one. What's a summary phrase though?

ArialAnna · 17/06/2020 20:59

Don't forget the 'I don't see why this needs a new thread when there are hundreds of others on this topic already'

And 'Don't you have anything better to worry about?' (Because we are only allowed to be concerned about one issue at a time...)

No link, facts, stats, study, research to base your opinion on.
