I checked out your link. They forgot "bifurcation". This is the method of generating two (or more) tangential issues so as to avoid discussion of the main topic. I suppose it has elements of the straw man and others, but I've found that anyone who makes 3 distinct replies to a single post is usually losing the argument -- badly.
