I reckon copies of this should be nailed to the doors of the Study and it's even worse sub-fora:

Which one's your favorite? I like the false dichotomy. I consider that to be an essential parenting tool.

:chuckles: For me the one that drives me up the wall the most (and is why I am mostly out of the Study at present because it happens far too frequently) is the Straw Man Fallacy. Nearly every time (small exaggeration perhaps ) that I post something in the Study that is meant to inspire thought, or is the result of lengthy cogitation on my part, someone picks one phrase out of one sentence and flies off at a negative tangent with it.

Every agrees that it's lame of you to claim that as the most important commandment ever devised.

I'm a fan of the fallacy of positive instances--cherry-picking cases where I'm in the right to emphasize to my kids and overlooking the cases where I'm, er, not demonstrably accurate.
In The Study, though, my favorite would have to be this one:

So, what you're saying is that lengthy cogitation is the only way to inspire thought? I vehemently disagree!:chuckles: For me the one that drives me up the wall the most (and is why I am mostly out of the Study at present because it happens far too frequently) is the Straw Man Fallacy.

Well that's just mean spirited nay-saying based on a sense of inferiority; probably because you're not English and are jealous!

When I think of English, I think of this (Warning: NSFW for some profanity):

Given that your previous post proves that you seek only to score cheap political points with racial stereotyping, I suggest you watch this documentary piece to better understand other cultures:

...which isn't exactly banned by any of those commandments, right? I mean, character and Britishness are separate issues.

Yeah like Im gonna believe a guy who wields a sword, I mean you start telling us we are not rational really. But I suppose I should expect this Just like ALL sword wheeling guys form Britain and I know that is a fact. And I am beginning to think this is directed at me based on a discussion new had that was a bit heated a while back .isnt it. It is that or you are jealous that I do CMA and you dont. But then you wouldnt really know would you .you most certainly would not understand. You know I do feel that since you posted this you should provide verifiable proof of this based on scientific studies and provide proper references to all things you use as proof. But I am sure that will not happen because I expect next you will utterly ignore my questions. Besides everyone knows that none of what you posted is true so .:uhyeah:

Really? I don't think it's really EVERY time now, do you? Don't you think that you're exaggerating just a wee bit there?

Suk, I have to say, I'd love to come to England and just hang out with you for awhile. Is there anything around you my Frau would enjoy?

that one getting a fricking workout around here. Dibs on it for #11
yeah - you know who I mean.
And if you think it applies to you, you're probably right.

I never knew people went to buffalo on purpose.
I'm pretty sure that #8 was not racial profiling. All the men had funny shaped heads. And everyone knows that cogitation causes headaches (migraines). Do I need to bring my own pillow to the party?
