A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, whereas the proper idea of argument under discussion was not addressed or properly refuted. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man".
I would say you're the one who constantly commits the strawman fallacy, since you never actually articulate a proper refutation, to anything.
