Nadine, just how do you come up with this stuff? You think about what you wish I had said, and then as a matter of wish fulfillment you respond to my imagined post, rather than the one I actually made?

I usually refer to this as "straw man" argumentation, though that may not be quite the right term. A remarkably consistent technique, though.
