The dictionary definition of a straw man argument is arguing !A and then 
concluding !B, where A is not a precondition of B.

What I'm doing is considering slight variations on what you're discussing 
in order to figure out if *they* have any merit (since your claim of some 
peculiar form of non-malicious dishonesty is incoherent I haven't wasted 
any time considering that case at all).

My apologies for *daring* to consider tangential cases at all. I wasn't 
aware I wasn't allowed to discuss such things.

(Your claims of 'exposure' reek of paranoia. In fact pretty much 
everything you've posted reeks of paranoia.)

No honey, your ass doesn't look big in that at all.
