What is a bad faith arguement, exactly?

1.72K views

Honestly, I’ve seen a few different definitions for it, from an argument that’s just meant to br antagonistic, another is that it’s one where the one making seeks to win no matter what, another is where the person making it knows it’s wrong but makes it anyway.

Can anyone nail down what arguing in bad faith actually is for me? If so, that’d be great.
