Logical Fallacy: Ad Hominem—The author attacks someone's personal characteristics in an attempt to undermine their argument or position.

{{appeal to emotion}} edit:

{{bandwagon}} edit:

{{begging the question}} edit:

Logical Fallacy: Begging the Question—The author presents a circular argument in which the starting assumption requires the conclusion to be true.

{{black or white}} edit:

Logical Fallacy: Black-or-White—The author presents two alternative states as the only two possibilities, when more possibilities exist.

{{burden of proof}} edit:

Logical Fallacy: Burden of Proof—The author assumes that the burden of proof is not his or her responsibility, but rather the responsibility of someone else who must disprove the claim.

{{composition}} edit:

Logical Fallacy: Composition—The author assumes that something is true of the whole from the fact that it is true of some part of the whole.

{{composition-division}} edit:

Logical Fallacy: Composition/Division—The author assumed that one part of something had to be applied to everything.

{{contextomy}} edit:

Logical Fallacy: Contextomy (Citing out of context)—The author has created a false attribution in which he or she removed a passage by an authority from its surrounding context in such a way as to distort or reverse its intended meaning.

{{false cause}} edit:

Logical Fallacy: False Cause—The author assumes that a real or perceived relationship between two events means that one caused the other.

{{genetic}} edit:

{{inconsistency}} edit:

Logical Fallacy: Inconsistency—The author applies contradictory standards, depending upon which group he is addressing.

Logical Fallacy: Loaded Question—The author asks a question that has a presumption already built into it in such a way that an answer cannot be provided without validating that presumption.

{{personal incredulity}} edit:

Logical Fallacy: Argument from Ignorance—The author has difficulty understanding the topic, so he or she assumes that it simply must not have any validity.

{{special pleading}} edit:

Logical Fallacy: Special Pleading—The author creates a one-sided argument by including favorable data and excluding unfavorable data through improper means. In this case, the author "moved the goalpost" by changing his argument when his original claim was shown to be false.

{{texas sharpshooter}} edit:

Logical Fallacy: Texas Sharpshooter—The author located some pattern in the data that he or she believes was the cause of something else, despite the lack of any supporting connection, and asserted that this was, in fact, the actual cause.
