Subject: READ IT BEFORE YOU MAKE AN ARGUMENT
----------
It depends why you are defending yourself. Is it because you have a sound logical argument to share or for emotional reasons(i need to be right etc.).an argumentative fallacy is concerned with who's right not what's right.A logical fallacy means the abuse of logic to persuade,it's part of rhetoric,perfected by the ancient greeks as a political tool. The example of ad hominem that I jested cyberman with is a good example. An argument should stand on it's own merit and contained information,wether the argument is made by me,dgsn or even ben20(like that's gonna happen haha). Rhetoric is for undermining an opponents argument,but,it is ultimately not valid as credible argument.
