Straw Man (not the poster)

When did this become such a popular term?

I swear, I posted on this forum for at least 4 years and this term never came up once.

I hate it. It seems the in thing to say now to try and discredit arguments without explaining why. Straw man this, straw man that.

And to make things even worse, the poster who goes by the moniker "Straw Man" comes across like a top lad, and I feel the derogatory terminology associated with the term to be incongruous with the poster.

Cut it out.
