Straw Man Politics

What is one of the favorite retorts of those who know the historic district is wrong, but who still want to preserve it? This clever 'straw man' is regularly pulled out:

"Weren't some of the people suing the Town over the historic district in favor of it in 1979?"

That cute little misrepresentation, another example of the Chewbacca defense, ignores all of the accumulated evidence on this site: The boundary changes, the Council admissions of wrongdoing, the cursing barrages from Steve Bukont, the building of an office building in the historic district, the unequal enforcement, etc. The list goes on and is well documented.
