Actually, I studied logic at that great big "College" school I went into so much debt over -- and in fact I have never heard anyone else here say the term, but hell. Thanks for suggesting that I'm a parrot for ideas not my own. I was pulling it right outta my own head, and I say it frequently constitutes a fallacious argument or attack. You are free to disagree, but I say attacking a single person over the experience of Burning Man is as fallacious as saying any one person is responsible for why it's so damn good.
But, if you want to talk about the straw man...I'd argue that if I (me as participant, not me as member of the senior staff) have a problem with Burning Man, I had better go look in the mirror and see what I am doing to make it better, not go bitching about the personal lives of the higher-ups.
Oh, and also,

I do apologize about the lack of bikini.
