  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

that is a red herring, avoiding the issue.
For the determining whether an argument is an ad hominem or not the question about the difference between the person and her argument is substantial, since an ad hominem is defined as the attack on the person (as opposed to the attack on the argument).

Bandwagon Fallacy!!

Non sequitur!

"Argumentum ad populum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Bandwagon Fallacy)

In logic, an argumentum ad populum (Latin for "appeal to the people") is a fallacious argument that concludes a proposition to be true because many or most people believe it. In other words, the basic idea of the argument is: "If many believe so, it is so."
This type of argument is known by several names,[1] including appeal to the masses, appeal to belief, appeal to the majority, argument by consensus, consensus fallacy, authority of the many, and bandwagon fallacy, and in Latin as argumentum ad numerum ("appeal to the number"), and consensus gentium ("agreement of the clans"). It is also the basis of a number of social phenomena, including communal reinforcement and the bandwagon effect. The Chinese proverb "three men make a tiger" concerns the same idea."

Not that I've been on this thread for a week or two, but I'm assuming that gradyll still hasn't provided either a cogent argument to support to his beliefs, or learnt how to identify a logical fallacy properly.

prove it

generally they are except ad hominems which are against the person.

No, a logical fallacy is an error in reasoning. An inaccuracy within an argument would imply some of your information is factually incorrect.
