Yeah, we're not really friends anymore for similar reasons and situations. He was the kind of person that I would blame to miss a point on purpose just to feel morally superior by arguing against the straw man if I had the balls to tell him that.

However, I once did say "I think that's a straw man argument" and he replied with "sorry that I'm not good in debating."

That was hilarious and very frustrating at the same time, lol.

Or you could say we're just "congratulations, you survived another year"-friends now.
