    Shotgun argumentation Kaurie is a method used by people who often to want to remove the context of what the other person was saying like taking a word, phrase or sentence and splitting it from the context of the rest of the post.

    Definitely not the purpose of me using that. If you feel I did that to you, I'm sorry. I use it to contain arguments and address them.

    On a forum, often people list multiple points and when you blanket respond to the full thing, it can be confusing to what you are talking about. I break it into pieces to keep my argument as clear as possible, and not to mis-represent your argument.

    If you feel I did mis-represent you, please let me know. It's possible I may have misunderstood you.

    EDIT: I got curious, because I hadn't heard this before - so I looked it up. Internets says, shotgun argumentation is when the arguer offers such a large number of arguments for a position that the opponent can't possibly respond to all of them. That seems to be quite different :\ Regardless, I'm sorry if I took any of your points out of context (but I don't think I did?)

    EDIT2: I think this is the one you mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallac...out_of_context
