Gary,
Obviously you are unfamiliar with the term "Straw Man Argument" and/or what it means in terms of logical fallacies. A Straw Man occurs when: PERSON "1" advances ARGUMENT "A" in a debate and PERSON "2" attempts to rebut that argument by misrepresentation of it. The most common method employed to utilize the Straw Man involves exaggerating the position of PERSON "1" in order to more easily defeat this now weaker argument. As you have aptly demonstrated, most often PERSON "2" has no argument to advance...only fallacious rebuttals.
