Wolfee misapplied the logical fallacy of the Straw man argument. It is a very commonly misapplied logical fallacy and seems to be the top of the list for the Amazing Atheist when he talks about misapplied logical fallacies. Usually when a person misapplies the straw man they evoke a straw man themselves. Wolfee however simply mistook for a straw man what is in fact known as a "bold faced lie" and not a logical fallacy. A logical fallacy is a mistake in logic. They are easy to make during a debate, what or even while trolling this is why I strongly recommend people educate themselves on what is or is not a logical fallacy. http://www.logicalfallacies.info/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies http://www.csun.edu/~dgw61315/fallacies.html http://www.fallacyfiles.org/ http://onegoodmove.org/fallacy/toc.htm http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/659/03/ http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/ A bold faced lie is not a logical fallacy as it means the person who is speaking the lie knows beyond a shadow of a doubt what he is saying is untrue. It is not a mistake. Mr Fetch has committed a few logical fallacies so let us make a game of it. Tell me a few logical fallacies Mr Fetch has committed. And I'd like it if someone would give me an example of a Burden of proof fallacy. http://www.don-lindsay-archive.org/skeptic/arguments.html#burden In particular the one Mr Fetch committed. http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/burden-of-proof.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_proof_(logical_fallacy)
