So once more, dear friends:
A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man"
The reason this digression has gone on so long is mainly your constantly changing (and often self-contradictory) arguments. This is just the latest example.
...OK.
