Informal Logical Fallacies: Fallacies of Distraction · 11:07pm Jul 29th, 2016
In my time here, I have noticed that in so many “debates” comments are laden with insults and childish mudslinging, which would indicate to me that many here have little to no training in logic. As such, I thought it necessary to give some exposition of logic, starting with the common fallacies.
1. Straw-man: an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not advanced by that opponent.

Yes.
Yes.
How?
Yes. Minus following Crazy Jay(I'm somewhat pedantic).
You follow exactly one member, have joined one group in which you immediately started making inflammatory comments, and you did all this on the day you joined, eight days ago.

You know what makes this genuinely funny? Decim Akemi was the first one to accuse me of being an alt. LOL! And, unless I misunderstand the delivery of his posts, he really doesn't like me.
2236149 what caused you think I am him?
2233961 I am no one's alt. I am a guy with his own account.
