Fallacy

No True Scotsman

You made what could be called an appeal to purity as a way to dismiss relevant criticisms or flaws of your argument.

Anecdotal

You used a personal experience or an isolated example instead of a sound argument or compelling evidence.

Tu Quoque

You avoided having to engage with criticism by turning it back on the accuser-you answered criticism with criticism.

Plain Folk

Presenting yourself as (or associating your position with) ordinary people with whom you hope your audience will identify; arguers imply that they or their supporters are trustworthy because they are 'common people' rather than members of the elite.

Guilt by Association

Linking the person making an argument to an unpopular person or group.

Appeal to Emotion

You attempt to manipulate an emotional response in place of a valid or compelling argument.

Bandwagon

You appeal to popularity or the fact that many people do something as an attempted form of validation.

Slippery Slope

You said that if we allow A to happen, then Z will eventually happen too, therefore A should not happen.

Appeal to the People (stirring symbols)

The communicator distracts the readers or listeners with symbols that are very meaningful to them, with strong associations or connotations.

Appeal to Tradition

This is the fallacy of asserting that something is right or good simply because it's old, or because "that's the way it's always been." Just because people practice a tradition, says nothing about whether it was true (or good).

Appeal to Novelty

The fallacy of asserting that something is better or more correct simply because it is new, or newer than something else.
