Strawman

The strawman or straw man, seems to be the only logical fallacy that most midwits online have ever heard of (except for maybe ad hominem). It does matter how irrelevant it is to the conversation, if the midwit is losing the argument they'll accuse you of using a "strawman". Most of them don't really know the definition. Also known as an "Aunt Sally" in the UK, or a "straw person" if you're woke.
You don't agree with me, so that is a strawman argument.

Richard Stallman

God on Earth. He is the Lord, who shall save humanity from its misogynistic tendencies towards proprietary software. The very atoms of his body are holy, and every time he chews his foot fungus he is actually sampling pure divinity. He shall correct all those who dare to misuse the phrase "GNU / Linux," owing to the fact that Linux is the kernel and GNU is the system of components forming the building blocks of the operating system. He is the shepherd of all flocks and varieties of people, namely those who recognize the superiority of GNU / Linux. Like any good shepherd, he shall never lead his people astray, never compromise his sacred beliefs, and always set a truly aspiring example of what people should aspire to become.
Random person: What are you doing?
GNU/Linux user: I am kneeling before my Lord, Richard Stallman. May the goodwill of free software everlast amidst the endless torrents and tirades of evil proprietary software.
