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.

Doing something in bad faith just means you’re being intentionally deceitful or dishonest about it.
Typically, that means you have no intention of seeing something through, like engaging in negotiations while having no intention of reaching an agreement, or engaging in a debate with no intention of trying to reach an honest resolution.
But people use it more broadly. If you think I’m *deliberately* straw-manning your position, you might accuse me of bad faith.
