1. I never claimed that your inability to understand what a straw man is discredited your other points. That's ANOTHER straw man. Your other points discredited themselves, and I correctly observed their absurdity. 2. Your poor spelling and grammar demonstrate your actual intellectual ability, as opposed to the intellectual ability you are pretending to have. It is relevant since your pretense is the origin of this conversation. 3. You criticized a particular grenade for being unrealistic. This demonstrated a lack of understanding of the fact that Destiny's mechanics are based more on game balance than realism, which you would have realized if you'd ever handled a firearm (no one believes your lie that you have). 4. I haven't claimed to be different, and whatever faults I have are unrelated to the validity of my observations of your faults. 5. I did not claim I would not reply again. At this point I'm having fun laughing at a schoolkid who thinks he's smart, but has no real world experience and cannot process simple concepts even when spelled out for him. I hope that you will understand what a straw man is by the end of this conversation. If you stop constructing them I will take it as evidence that you learned something, though I have little hope.

So now I'm lying about having used a gun before? Well, that much isn't true. You can pretend everyone who says they've used a firearm hasn't, but you won't ever know unless you knew me as a person. Thanks for proving how petty some people are over 'have you used a firearm before' and claiming I'm a liar immediately after. I'm not gun saavy, but my father was a veteran and so was his father before him. And I'm American. I've held and used a gun before, so before you try and assert I'm lying yet again, why don't you go ahead and show up at my house and we'll see who doesn't get shot for trespassing. How's that sound? As for faking being an intellectual, I'm not faking anything, but I'm not arrogantly claiming to have some obscene amount of knowledge either. I don't appreciate being belittled by some prideful bastard who can't even accurately label me for what I am. "School kid." Really? Of course, the typical adult argument to try and bash what they falsely believe to be a child. I am twenty and bearded, and I am most certainly not in school. You want to discuss this using fancy words to try and prove that you're 'smarter' than me, go right ahead. What you're doing is proving the arrogance that goes right to your head when you become the least bit educated. Your concept of dumb versus smart is based on things such as spelling, which can often come down to a simple mistype when you consider we're using keyboards to communicate. Excuse me for not being perfect, but nobody is. I'm sure you make typos as well, and correct them when you catch them, as do I. You're a sad excuse for a human who delights in belittling others to raise himself up a bar where there is no higher or lower: we are all equals on the same playground, and you're just belligerently asserting yourself to get off on your own intellectual prowess. Or as you'd put it, disproving my false allegations. Thank you for laughing while I'm trying to uphold a serious conversation. Makes me lose all hope in humanity when we can't put aside petty differences to at least be civil. Instead you pick at every little thing about me and try to shove it in a negative light. Well go ahead, but so far as I can tell I'm getting more positive reinforcement than negative, so I don't really care what one guy believes to be true. You're just one more brick that serves as the foundation for human ignorance and neglect. And one day there will be enough rain drops of my own kind pelting across your temple, reducing you to nothing more than rubble, slowly but surely.
