Just for the record. A straw man is a reference to intentionally setting up a weak argument just so you can knock it down. It's generally done by presenting either a simplistic or incomplete version of one's opponent's argument and then blowing it over like a straw man.
My perhaps unwise alliteration in the opening of my post was merely intended to convey that I thought Rag's arguments regarding CD's posts were persuasive. Nothing more, nothing less. I have the highest respect for both posters although I do like to think that CD's butt belongs to me! (g)
