You can do whatever you like. I was suggesting that it might make sense to do it elsewhere...but go on have this one on me and fill your boots.

No, of course it didn't. He was barred from posting on this thread http://www.urban75.net/forums/threa...men-vs-tropes-in-video-games-launched.307828/ . Action takes place between pages 40-something and 52. Judge for yourself.
Are you asking me to provide a list of users?

Apart from the usual "how dare a man say these things" crap. Like this:
A stupid crass straw man (ie an offensive and deliberate misrepresentation).

Love and solidarity
There are probably still some completed ones kicking around in the debris of Awesome's contributions to the "women-vs-tropes-in-video-games" thread if you can't find an unused one

E'rm one man turned up and said one line...........don't really count that as 'nasty' behaviour

what, like claiming that challenging prejudice is displaying prejudice?

So many particulars. So many questions.
you don't understand what strawman means AW
So if someone's contribution to a thread is merely one line, that excuses the content? How does that work then?
show me the statement
And what does it tell you?

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit."
Because you need to get a sense of proportion and stop immediately whining about 'nasty' behaviour

I don't doubt it. But is it retained by all? Mothers and fathers to be? It's quite a step, pregnancy.

show me where i haven't...............and please try not to be so patronising
A straw man is a misrepresentation of an opponent's argument.
Happens all the time on here. Makes discussion impossible.

I simplified a bit. This was the finding of the 'thud' experiment in the US in the 70s. Diagnosis varied according to the amount of money the establishment charged for admittance, with the less stigmatised 'bipolar' far more common in the exclusive private clinics.
This is a review of studies in both the US and the UK from 1997 detailing differences in diagnosis and the effect of race and class. A section at the start of page 107 seems relevant to this discussion - a finding that alcohol abuse is less likely to be detected in better-off patients. The review does suggest that class bias is becoming less of a problem, but it also suggests that the clinicians' preconceptions about what a particular kind of patient looks like are still a significant factor in diagnosis. Tbh the most shocking differences are those relating to race, both here and in the US.

Nothing patronising, i'm being honest with you.

No it's not. It's the deliberate construction of a similar argument and a counter argument that works against the similar argument but not against the original. It is not simply a misrepresentation.
