Hello Sirencall,

No, the post I referenced was NOT a straw man argument, it was an argument, period, and one that has about 70 percent support by the readers voting.

Here is a reprint:

"Mansbridge was captain of CBC's The National for decades. So, why would you consider it unfair for CBC, in revamping the post-Mansbridge The National, to choose NOT to include YET ANOTHER European-extract male to host the show? Wasn't decades of Mansbridge enough to justify finding another ethnic/gender mix than Mansbridge's to replace him?"
