Have you seen Posters have commited a number of these errors while debating or dicussing their points within this forum.
1) Posting a “Knife comment”
Is when someone makes a claim and expects everyone to believe it, when the cliam is not supported by any connections or proofs or any other idea. its just stated and expected to be believed, with no proof, nor connecting the proof.
What i call a knife comment can be best represented by this example:
Imagine that we are both prosecutors in a murder trial.
The intelligent lawyer states “This is the exhibit A: knife recovered in the crime seen that clearly belongs to the defendant who initials are written in the handle with his fingerprints and whos blade is spilled with the victems blood. With this evidence we can conclude that the defandt is responsible for the murder. i rest my case”The foolish prosecutor “This is exhibit A: The Knife! THE KNIFE!!! everyone this is the KNIFE!!! and you have to believe me because this is enough proof to show that this man is guilty. the KNIFE! i rest my case” (*smirks* beats his monkey chest.)
2) Pointless arguements.
Is when decideing to post something pointless.
in other words nonsense.
For example:
A Response: woman shouldnt be treated bad,B response: Jesus is the son of mary.
A replies: What?
3) Runaway statements:
Making statements to either avoid questions or trying to change the subject.
“What i dont have to answer that, the burden of proof is on you!”
4) Distracting Statements:
Making statements to distract other people and avoid the orginal points that were made.
” Well God is omnipresent” (even though we are talking about the divinity of Jesus”5) Emotional Attacks
When a poster attacks a statement without defending himself first.
A: “Well the Quran says this,”
B: “Oh ya!! well the bible says this and that!! and this !!! so they are the same!!”
note: he doesnt refute your attack.6) False Accusation -Stating what has not been said.
When a poster states that you said something that you didnt say, or stating what scripture does not state.A:”well i disagree, your saying im ignorant, but God loves me and inspires me.”
B: “Where did you get ignorant from me correcting you by not stating scripture?”Dont you hate it when people do this?
its annoying right?
if you want to add anything go ahead and post.This is similar to my “Five Common Fallacies” thread:

I agree with everything you said above. And all of these tactics are used with great frequency by pretty much everyone, even those who aren't trying to use them.
I think it helps to actually look at the actual fallacies and consider why they are wrong. People commit these “logic crimes” all the time without thinking.
