EP, unintentionally or not, it was you making a strawman because you suggested she implied things she didn't even after she clarified that she didn't.
One doesn't make a straw man argument simply by saying " I get the feeling that you're saying this, if so then...". One makes a straw man by deliberately arguing against something one knows wasn't brought up by the other side and wanting to win the debate in that way. As it is, I added a caveat that clearly shows while I wasn't sure what she was saying, if she was saying X then I'm going to say Y. If not, it simply doesn't concern her.
