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.

A bad faith argument is one in which you are being insincere about your intentions.
A good example is the following.
You are trying to sell something. You are asking $120 for it.
Someone comes to you, and says, I’ll buy it for $100.
However, they’re negotiating in bad faith; they don’t intend to pay anything at all for what you’re selling. If you agreed to sell it to them for $100, they would find an excuse for why they can’t pay $100 for it; now they’re offering $80, and if you met that ask, they would go even lower, because their only aim is to destroy you, not to engage in an honest transaction.
