Awards/Golden Straw-Man

The Golden Straw-Man Award is given to those who most blatantly misrepresent their opponents' arguments in ways that are ridiculously easy to demolish. We haven't yet worked out how often the award will be bestowed or what it will consist of, but we are definitely thinking hard about it.

It is named jointly after the straw man argument and the well-known character in The Wizard of Oz who wishes for a brain.
