I don't really understand how you read that from my comment. I didn't imply he was lying. I was demonstrating how easy it is to straw man. It's clearly very easy to dismiss opinions you may disagree with by twisting them into something else. "You're stupid because I can mock you" doesn't give any validity to your arguments.

>These aren't arguments that people actually make.

That looks like an implication of lying to me.

I already explained how it's not a straw man, it's not meant to represent an actual argument.
