Were the downvotes for building a strawman argument and using it troll?

Seeing as I never disagreed with anything the author said I'd be interested to know what the strawman argument in question here is.

I did note that I think: 1. The post seemed like marketing/self promotion for his brand using a personal issue as cover and draw attention to his businesses blog. If this was a personal blog I would have no issue. 2. Many people who do not suffer from the disorder are going to use it as justification for their behaviour.

I don't see how those concerns are trolling.
