Debate Fallacies?

I have noticed that people love to point out fallacies that other people use in their debates as if it makes their points valid. I remember going over them back in college and we talked about it for awhile and how it is almost impossible for you to have a debate without using one or more in your argument so why do people like to point them out if they are using them themselves?

Logical Fallacies

Appeal to Logic, Pittman? 🙂

To be honest though, not all fallacies are created equal, some are outright offensive to use in an argument, while others are passable at times.

I am sure you release that majority people on the board are under the age of 16. Furthermore, some people's social knowledge extends to watching TV. Others never paid any attention in class.

Logical Fallacies

Because it's important to show people reading who may not know that an argument is broken/invalid/shitty/ugly/poopy.

And it's totally possible to construct an argument without fallacies.

It's not really that hard to do if you try. As long as you are aware of them.

I do know that, but many I debate with are much older but it’s the ones that seem to have learned one fallacy and use it over and over again but they do the same thing. 😕

Circular reasoning? Stop making the same fallacies and those same people will stop pointing them out. Cum hoc ergo proctor hoc? 🙂

What is worse imo is that the people just use them to disregard a point. Oftentime they are not applicable.

Didn’t say that it wasn’t possible, very hard but I’m more pointing out that the ones that seems to point out fallacies in others arguments use them just as much as anyone else.

Examples?

Which ones would you find offensive and which ones would you think are "ok"?

Wrong.

You've committed the fallacy of humble aptitude for a start, as well as the 'man walking with a basket' fallacy, and the way of the shining oak regressive error.

My problem is not with people citing logical fallacies, but with people citing them incorrectly.

Wtf are debate fallacies?
