This is going to be the best thread ever. I know that because Slug Signorino himself told me.
A fairly comprehensive list can be found here.

What was the logical fallacy in your post?
If you have to ask what the logical fallacy was in the post, you’re the type of person we shouldn’t expect to make a logical argument :mad:
Appeal to authority. Unless I’m being whooshed. In that case, good on you.
It would be an informal logical fallacy if I were to say that every post in this thread is a logical fallacy, which we know because the thread title is “Wherein every post is a logical fallacy”, and lo and behold, this post is in that thread.
But, since I’m not saying anything of the sort, my post does not, in fact, contain a logical fallacy.
There are no Scotsmen reading this post. I know that because my post is my cite.
No true Scotsman would ever admit to reading this post, but given the breadth of nationalities signed up here it’s safe to say that there are, in fact, Scotsmen reading this post.
[sub]Okay, that’s two logical fallacies. Does it still count? Come on, there are starving children in Africa, it must count.[/sub]
Mindfield’s argument is wrong because he is a poopyhead.
It’s not so bad. After all, nothing is worse than a fallacy.
And nothing is better than a big, juicy steak.
Therefore, a fallacy is better than a big, juicy steak.
This post is true because I’m a truthful person.
I can prove I’m a truthful person because this post is true.
If these fallacies continue, we will be overrun with fallacies, the boards will collapse, and then the Nazis will have won.
I understand the import of logical fallacies because I am not a graduate of an Ivy League school. (No, wait, that’s a non sequiter! Oh, where did I put that damned Oxford English Dictionary?!)
Actually, I stumbled into this thread by mistake, thinking for a moment it was about logical fellatio. Imagine my disappointment!
I can’t believe you people are busy posting in this thread instead of donating money to inner city youth programs. Don’t you care that desperate, disadvantaged children are turning to lives of crime at this very moment?
Bill Clinton was disappointed first.
Look, either you agree with listing these fallacies and are a genius, or you are an insufferable buffoon. Which is it?
Bill Clinton lied about a blow job.
George W. Bush lied about WMDs in Iraq.
Therefore all presidents of the US lie about something.
(But Democrat presidents lie about sex, while Repub presidents lie about much less important things).
Look, if every post before this contains a logical fallacy, then I’ll bet that no posts after this will contain a logical fallacy. The ratio has to catch up.
Just one more roll of the dice. I’m due.
My post of course contains no logical fallacy at all, but that guarantees that the next poster will claim it does. :rolleyes:
They say the Boy Scouts of America is a ninety seven year old organization, but I met a Boy Scout the other day and he sure didn’t look ninety seven!
