  "content": "{delete}\n{mention} may have noticed a logical fallacy: {if({args(1)}==adhominem):Ad Hominem- an attack on a person rather than the argument at hand. So shut up, stupid.}{if({args(1)}==strawman):Straw Man- The (un)intentional warping of a person's argument to a weaker one. Learn to read. Stop deceiving people.}{if({args(1)}==adbaculum):Ad Baculum- You made an appeal to your power/force to try to win this argument. Maybe you are compensating for a small something down there?}{if({args(1)}==slipperyslope):Slippery Slope- You are going down a rabbit trail leading to a bad outcome to try to disprove {mention}'s argument. While you keep going down that slippery slope, the rest of us will have a real conversation, so, goodbye!}{if({args(1)}==beggingthequestion):Begging the Question- This is also known as circular reasoning. No wonder you made that argument, it seems like your brain is more like a smooth rock than, you know, a brain... Of course you wouldn't know. How could you?}{if({args(1)}==undistributedmiddle):Undistributed Middle- This is just you being deceptive. Do better.}{if({args(1)}==argumentfromauthority):Argument from Authority- A person's expertise in the subject at hand has NO impact on the validity or invalidity of his claims. So take your PhD in (whatever) and stick it in a dusty trophy case.}{if({args(1)}==equivocation):Equivocation- You seem to be tripping over yourself by using multiple definitions on a single word. Go home, you're drunk.}{if({args(1)}==falsedilemma):False Dilemma- {mention} does not have to pick between your options as if they're the only options in the world. Your brain is like a box. And boxes don't have much inside of them.}{if({args(1)}==falseanalogy):False Analogy- You cherry-picked an analogy, probably out of your anus, and tried to use it here. It didn't work.}{if({args(1)}==imentitledtomyopinion):The \"I'm entitled to my opinion\" fallacy says that you think that the fact that you have your own opinion makes everyone else's not relevant, when in fact, it is only YOUR opinion that is not relevant. You are, however, entitled to the right to remain silent. I suggest you exercise this right.}{if({args(1)}==redherring):Red Herring- bringing in unrelated information to distract people from the argument on hand. Say something that's actually relevant and {mention} will (most likely) appreciate it.}{if({args(1)}==circular):Circular Argument- elaborating a point by restating/rephrasing it. Explain your point instead of stating the same point twice. It's like you're kissing your own ass.}",
