It is a strawman as it attacks a position other than the one held by the opposition. He was very thorough in the descimation of the argument that he constructed to represent his opposition. In other words the arguments that he claims were proposed by me and others were not and he was just putting words in peoples mouths. It is an incredibly dishonest tactic if done deliberately, and implies ignorance of the opposition if not.
