That's Bulverism.
Weasels can be right about stuff.  And you could be mistaken about whether or not I'm a weasel in the first place.
In order to have a productive dialogue, you have to assume that your dialogue partner has good intentions and be generous in your interpretation of his words. Interpret them as "strong man" rather than "straw man" arguments. 
But I'm pretty sure you're not here for productive dialogue and that's fine.
