I have just been lurking here, but now you have peaked my curiosity.
I have been on some recovery sites lately myself and I was wondering what
kind of logical fallacies you found on such forums.
Just curious.

Boyd,
Please post more like that. I love learning common logical
fallacies. I think learning them should be as fundamental as
multiplication tables. I think they are the future of internet
(and non-internet) debate; making it much more scientific and
mathematical. Knowing them by heart and recognizing them would
save so much time. Do you have a good link to a list / glossary /
dictionary (other than wikipedia)?
I was in a recovery forum here a while back and decided to call
out every logical fallacy I saw. There were so many, that the
group started insulting me and eventually ejected me; without
rebutting a single point I made. Like I said, it can save a lot
of time (revealed the true color of the group and its moderator
very quickly).
I think it's very relevant because universal libertarianism is
essentially the same thing: recognizing all the logical fallacies
in other political philosophies. After you weed out all the
fallacies, you are left with a more logical / reasonable /
legitimate / valid / scientific philosophy.

This is the logical fallacy of The False Dichotomy. It presents
two extreme opposing choices as the only ones when in reality
there are many.
