Yes, just like that.

Consider: I asked his reasons for attempting to foreclose a debate, and volunteered it was because he has nothing interesting to say. You remember I have also attempted to foreclose a "debate", and in your impatience to expose me as a hypocrite (which your hasty interpretation of the facts leads you to assume I am) commit a fallacy of false assumption.

Annastrophic: "A thinks B does C because of D. A does C. Therefore, A does C because of D."

Let me resolve the apparent hypocrisy for you : The opposite cause to that which I imputed the foreclosure of debate in his case to in my case is the foreclosure of debate imputable to.
