Awful, ain't it?
A few years ago I used to fall for that stuff all the time over on
the Evolution echo.  E.g., "Every argument against evolution is an
argument for creation."  There are about half a dozen ways you can
take that apart and show that it's completely fallacious, but if you
don't _know_ that, you're a sitting duck for a good debater.
