For some reason it is not letting me reply to the answer. Anyway:<p>Definition of the strawman argument:<p>&quot;A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent&#x27;s argument, while actually refuting an argument which was not advanced by that opponent.&quot; (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Straw_man" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Straw_man</a>)<p>The original article is put in a very specific context: a sermon about a very specific scripture on a theological university. It is not about Yale, it is not about free-speech. It is about the reaction of a self-centered student and how out of place he is; which I understand it is the point of lagadu, and it is why lagadu&#x27;s comment is not a straw men argument.<p>The fact that the Yale argument is true has no relevance with the context of the original discussion.
