Unfortunately this appears necessary. Copy Tempo's Strawman Posts and then paste them here. This should rival the length of the COVID thread in no time.

The guy who thinks you can’t enjoy a John Wick movie and also be against school shootings, and thinks listening to The Score is tantamount to being an insurrectionist is ripping others for creating strawmen. Only at the HQ, folks.
Besides being patently oblivious to what the term "strawman" means in context...
A: The issue with John Wick was not enjoying one and then being "against school shootings." Who the fuck is "for" school shootings (or than the shooter)? It is a commentary about his complaining about mass shootings at schools then going to see a movie glorifying mass shootings. This is a common theme in Tempo postings here.
B: The issue with listening to The Score is that Tempo vehemently dislikes many Republicans and their politics. Ok, fine. He is not alone. Yet, he listens to station, The Score, thus generating ad dollars for The Score via ratings, that they use to pay the Ricketts tons of cash. The Ricketts then turn that cash into campaign contributions for the Republicans and their policies that he loathes.

Did I finally break ThePAMan? Ironically, I wasn’t even trying.

Did you lose it over the trans athlete issue? Are you going to be next judge Judy checking out genitals before people enter bathrooms?

No. Your Strawman March continues unabated.

But I’m thinking “maybe we should create their own category,” is definitely full on support for them competing against women. You got me there.

"maybe" a key word, of course.

Which definitely implies I unequivocally support biological men competing against women in sports.

I’m guessing you wouldn’t be surprised either way.

Somehow, these do not classify as strawmen.

Although people who give up won’t land any and take away other people’s chances and opportunities too. Sad.

Hyperbole. How many times do you have to quit before you can be called a quitter? How many times you use drugs/alcohol to be called an addict?

IDK this heavily seems to imply you’re talking about someone who’s quit “multiple times.”

Of course not. I didn't expect her to quit on her team like she did either.

True. He did come back and play though, I think.
I will have to jump start my investigation.

Why is it so important to you that a 26 year old gymnast continues to compete when they are likely not contractually obligated to do so?
My gut tells me if she had competed in every event “pro” gymnastics has had, you wouldn’t retract a single word you said about her.

If she had, I would have to say that she returned to competition like Drummond did.
