Your weekly logical fallacy: Strawman

Starting now I am going to post a logical fallacy with a nudist twist/example. We are going to start out with the tried and true Strawman fallacy. You misrepresented someone's argument to make it easier to attack. By exaggerating, misrepresenting, or just completely fabricating someone's argument. It's much easier to present your own position as being reasonable, but this kind of dishonestly serves to undermine honest rational debate. Example: Jason came out as a nudist to friends and family. His family was horrified to learn this because they think nudists are nothing more than sexual deviants.
