Must be a typo. Assume you meant to say: Strong argument man. Then I stopped reading after "I accept your position, and you're right". Agreed. “Straw man argument”? Must be a typo.

But let's say your point is valid: I accept your position, and you're right; the academy really shouldn't have awarded them with the Oscar for Best Screenplay Based on Unique Events and Characters Both Fictional and Real. Oh, wait... (2) Duly noted. Context: we were eating delicious Banoffee pie. (3) Apologies. I tend to get short-term, rage-induced amnesia when someone is wrong on the internet. (4) Thanks :) (1) Straw man argument.

They stole it from other well documented sources. (2) That quote, while actual, was taken out of context. (3) The Hurt Locker. Dude, it was like 2 secs ago. You only wrote 50 words and forgot about it? (4) Also, I invited you to the banoffee party and this is the thanks I get? A reply in 4 parts (one more than you because I will always 1-up you):

Brace yourself: Firstly, even if The Hurt Locker unashamedly ripped off /was Inspired By ™ a soldier's true story (FYI: the writer invited said soldier to the premier, long after which said soldier realised – unforgivingly late by normal standards – that he could’ve made some money) it’s still the BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY. Until that soldier proves that he wrote a dramatized screenplay of his life before this movie was conceived, his suit is as baseless and unholy as cheeseburger-flavoured Pringles. Secondly, I said all this to you in person and your only response was “comment on my blog”. Are you even a real person anymore?! Thirdly, what were we talking about? This is a three-pointer.
