Fallacy Fallacy Fallacy Fallacy... He did make a false equivocation.
Mockery. Discard of logic. Discard of history. Fallacy fallacy. No false equivocation took place.
LOL. This is not argument, BTW. Just screaming out stuff from the list of logical fallacies is nonsense, does nothing to continue a conversation and doesn't even make you look smart. It just makes it look like you are incapable of supporting an opinion of your own.
I do support my own opinions. Any fallacies that I call are not by me, but by the person making the fallacy.
If you want to point out a fallacy, do so, I love a decent logic puzzle. But also include some tidbit of information pertaining to the conversation otherwise you are just squawking loudly without purpose.
Fallacies are not logic puzzles. They are errors in logic, similar to a math error. If someone, for example, tries to argue that 2+2=7, that's a math error. I do not have to explain it.
Also remember that a conversation is not the same thing as a logical proof,
That is correct. Logic still must be followed, however, or the argument made in the conversation is invalid.
and this is conversational, not a debate stage.
Irrelevant. Logic applies to both conversations and debates. Oh...and I have frequently pointed out that these are not debates, only conversations.
Appeal to emotion, for instance, has a validity in politics in a way that no logical fallacy should during a debate,
An appeal to emotion can be legit, but only in very narrow circumstances. Outside those circumstances, for example, in attempting a proof of any kind, it is a fallacy.
but in reality, where we live and hold these conversations, it works.
It might, it might not. Like I said, it is NOT a fallacy for some limited circumstances.
Pretending that negative commercials aren't mostly logical fallacies, for instance, is just pretense.
Most commercials have numerous fallacies in them.
Knowing that they work is part of politics, and appeal to emotion will work here too, even if you squawk out that it is appeal to emotion.
If a fallacy occurs, someone may still buy the product, but that doesn't eliminate the fallacy. I think you will find that people buy products not because of a commercial so much, but because the product is sitting there on the store shelf. Frankly, people don't really care whether a particular brand has ingredient 'xyzzy' in it.
It really doesn't take any extra work to avoid committing fallacies, except to take the time to realize why you are making the argument you are making.
I do not call all fallacies. For example, many people here spend their time trying to derail threads and throw insults (that's generally all they do). I don't bother to call the insult fallacy because it's obvious. Such insults do not make any argument. Their only purpose is to derail the thread and to give the poster some meaning in their otherwise meaningless life.
I am not here to 'appear smart'. I let the lefties do that. Many of them deny science, mathematics, logic, philosophy, etc. They do it to push their religion. To them, their religion means all. When they try false authorities to 'prove' their argument, I call them on it. When they try to project their problems on someone else, I call them on it.
Per your request, however, I will try to include an explanation and context more often. It does get tiring with the repetitive chanting of the left, though.
