Honestly, if you did this, I would be less concerned about the thread being derailed and more about the fact that your entire argument is fallacious.

Fallacies don't make it any less correct, nor does it necessarily make it less effective (unfortunately).

You have to be joking.

[Mr.jacksaunt]

You have to be joking.

I don't think he is.

[Wynd_Fox]

I'm not. Containing fallacies doesn't make an argument wrong. That belief is, in fact, a fallacy. It simply means the argument is unsound, not that the conclusion is incorrect. Read this.

So you mean that just because the argument contains a fallacy doesn't guarantee it is wrong?

Okay.

I hate it too when people complain about this crap.

Okay.

Yeah, that's exactly what I mean, lol. I can't tell if that "Okay" is sarcasm or not.

I figured Wikipedia would be a bit more useful in an argument than TVTropes, but I love their section on logic.

Oh. But I was right...?

Any time you can find a relevant section on TV Tropes, use that instead. Wikipedia will impart more technical knowledge, but TV Tropes has the advantage of readability without the requirement of knowing every jargon term in a given field.
