Strawman - your argument should be either:
There is a difference between killing someone and trying to kill someone (and I say there is NO moral difference).

OR

There is a difference between killing someone and someone alleging you killed someone.

OF COURSE there is a difference between killing someone and someone alleging you tried to kill someone - but there is a difference between killing someone and someone alleging that you killed someone also.

Either:
1) you understand the point that I’m making and are intentionally using sophistry for whatever purpose you might have.

OR

2) you don’t understand the point I’m making, and you accidently used fallacy to make your point. In which case, I have no further words to clarify my point for you.

Either way, I don’t want to continue this.

Is this dial an argument?

No it isn't

It appears to be.

No it doesn't!

Might I suggest a third option?:

3) the other poster is neither employing sophistry nor falacious, but rather you are muddle-headed and a bad arguer and don’t want to continue because you’re losing.
