Nick, you have it completely backwards. The ONLY logical option is to
disagree with a premise, you can NOT disagree with logic. If A implies
B, and B implies C, then you can disagree with the assumption A, but
not with the logic that A implies C (you might say that the logic has a
mistake, but then it isn't really logic but rather illogic).

Some people have some notions, others have other notions. There is some
overlap, but not complete overlap. Thankfully, otherwise it would be a
boring place.

There's that faulty memory again. Just look back to the thread where a
number of people advocated banning Mark; before that, there was talk
about kicking off JDG; before that, Alberto.
