    Just pointing out that the above comment is utter trash and useless as hell.

      I was wondering if I had to go into why straw-men are bad for a discussion, but figured odds were likely you already knew. But assuming the goal is to find common ground and/or convince other people, then including straw-men makes those people assume you’re not understanding their point, and then dismissing the rest of whatever you’re trying to say.

      I hope it’s more useful now.
