Well actually, what he said wasn't a *strawman *at all. A strawman is the misstatement of an argumentative position for the sake of attacking said position in an attempt to one up your opponent. Obviously, possession of a vendetta is not an argumentative position (false or otherwise) but rather a motive for having a position.
Hence, what he actually said was an *ad hominem argument* - That being Latin for an "attack against the man" But in any case, I do agree that removing Valve servers from the server browser was not an ideal solution to the problem at hand.
