It's not meant to be personal with regard to CrazzyMan, cause he's certainly not the only one who does it, but I admit his recent posts did precipitate this topic.



lol =))

A fact is something that is the case, or that which can be verified according to an established standard of evaluation. The precise definition of "fact" depends on the context, academic discipline and associated normative principles.

Anyway... the point of this thread was to discuss rhetorical devices used in arguments on this board.  Some are useful, many, like this one, I find extremely annoying.  So post your most hated rhetorical device here!  Is it the top ten reasons why console A will fail?  The ad hominem attack?  Strawman argument?
