in order to win an "argument"
Is this a new thing, maybe a social media thing? I've noticed it seem to be happening a lot lately. People disagree and one person (in this case @Same_as_before ) then claims the other person believes something that is contrary to what they actually believe in order to "win" the argument.
When did that start? I can never remember it when I have had face to face discussions so I wonder if it's a social media thing? It's quite a low form of discourse really. You disagree with someone. Instead of arguing against the point, you claim the other person is saying something they aren't in red to make them look bad. I don't get it? Is it a new technique?
