You hear people screaming "Strawman" all the time here.
There is the cutest little book on that subject, and more at An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments
Or, I can send you a free copy, fully illustrated, if you like.
This is great! I hope everyone reads this!
This is a good book, because if you don't keep these in mind, your arguments may fail.
Bad arguments are like a hammer in the face, and no one want's to get hit with a hammer in the face!
Gashmu says so too!
That is, arguments which are offered by others for your point that are not arguments either for or against you.
You can offer either truths, or half-truths.
Posting in a thread means the truths
are half-truths!
If you don't accept this, you've been warned!
All these ideas are valid!
No one knows
why not, so they
are.
No true forum member would disagree with this.
These ideas come from a long line of forums.
Athiest forums think otherwise, do you want to be like them?
People on forums think these things. If you think them you must be on forums too.
You may not want to debate this, but you've debated other things, so there!
Start debating like that, and pretty soon you're going be just intolerable!
Besides, everyone thinks that!
If you don't, you're just a bad person.
Being a bad person, you won't think that, and I know you are a bad person, because you don't think that, because you are bad . . .
But, since the forum is a happy and nice place, all of you are happy and nice also!
Much love!
I'm bored.
