Search "strawman" by posts on the forum and you will see that you and Craig have used the term on multiple occasions in fact the most !.
I had never heard of it before reading one of your posts,
You and Craig have replied and hence you and Craig are the "you guys" I refer to in relation to the use of the term "strawman"
If I had been aware of the poor behaviour in the other forums I might have commented if I thought it was appropriate or not being dealt with by others which it usually is, but since I haven't, I didn't, its not about moral compass its about making a comment if I think its relevant.
As far as an attack on Craig that was never the object, although my comments for his moderation and use of emotive replies (as he graciously admits and genuinely apologises for) was directed at Craig. There is a big difference, if I wanted to attack Craig and I certainly dont, then there has been plenty of opportunity on a daily basis - do you see that anywhere ? No of course you don't.
I think my initial post is quite specific about what I had to say and why.
You have "attacked" me to far greater extent ! Extrapolated some amazing conclusions and false allegations and character assassinations of your own.
So it seems you are a hypocrite here.
There is room in this forum for everyone, but it requires some consideration and empathy for others, something that appears that not all possess or care for.
At least when it was pointed out Craig had the good courtesy to respond - even if he doesnt agree with me.
Thanks guys for tolerating my final hijack and intrusion on what is a fascinating subject no matter where our opinions sway us.
The Video link that Trevor posted is definitely worth the watch.
Cheers

(1) I haven't made any personal attacks on you unless you define the accusation of a personal attack on Craig as an attack on you. If this is the standard you want to operate at then it is a double standard.
The fact you accused Craig of being dismissive and insulting to others, is by your own definition a personal attack. Yet you deny this. You can't have it both ways.
(2) It's very easy to use the search function and count the number to times I have used the term strawman. So what?
You accuse me of using the term in a blanket context, I will use the term where appropriate. I have never used this term in this thread until now.
To drag up my use of this term from past posts has absolutely no relevance in this thread. Your attempts to misconstrue the discussion is noted.
(3) Craig has apologised? A futile attempt to create a wedge issue....
Enough said.
