[quote:Xenus 648970:MV83NjUyNzBfMTE3NjAwODVfRjZCNkQ5OTY=] :bump: Why all the hostility, just want to share some knowledge for those who don't know about these techniques. Not so people can use them, (shame on you if you do) because it shows a lack of intelligence and these can be used for ANY subject matter, but so people can see when it's been used against them.

Something every GLPer should know (or remember).
The Dark Side of Debate
If you take a course, or visit a web-site, or pick up a text on logical fallacies, then you'll hear a lot about the benefits of critical thinking:
"It's important to know about the fallacies so that we can think clearly."
"We should avoid committing fallacies so that we can find the truth."
And so on, and so on...
This site isn't about any of that. This site is about something much more important that discovering the truth; it's about winning arguments.
Specifically, it's about using fallacies to win arguments.
