Optimising versus Roleplaying

[Sir Brennen]

No.


False!


Never!


Wrong


No he did not.


It's not the norm.


No.

Monty Phyton Fallacy?

Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?

 

[Cadfan]

Would you not have to formulate the Fallacy first?

You'd think so, but you'd be wrong.

The ardoughter fallacy- the assumption that you need to formulate a fallacy before having it named for you.

QED

I vote that by the time this thread drops off the front page, everyone in the forum has a fallacy named after them except Rel.

 

[Obryn]

ooh! I claim the Obryn Fallacy

"A person's posting in a thread automatically declares their interest in that thread's subject matter. It is impossible to both post and not care."

...Which is clearly false, since it's usually how I post.

There. It's formulated. I demand you start using this to win arguments on the internet.

-O

At which point the Rel Falacy becomes "The assumption that threatening to pout if you don't get a falacy named after you will be effective."

Muhahahaha! I win either way!

I'm demonstrating why your fallacy is false right now.

I endorse and fully support this fallacy.

 

[MerricB]

I endorse and fully support this fallacy.

I already have a Law. Could I have a Fallacy as well?

Cheers!

 

[La Bete]

I'm demonstrating why your policy is false right now.

Shouldn't this have a IYKWIMAITYD on the end?

 

[Jack99]

Apart from the other ways in which this thread has been elucidating, it has brought to my attention a massive oversight, which desperately needs correction: I don't have a fallacy named after me.

I intend to address this by pouting until such time as I get one.

Does that mean you won't post until you have formulated such fallacy, or are you one of those rare males that can multitask? Pouting and posting at the same time?

I'm virtually always doing something else while I post. IYKWIMAITYD.
