Just found this list which made me think of many discussions I've seen here

216.23.55.222

Maybe not the first time you've run into these (particularly if you ever were in a debate class), but good to have all in one place. Maybe time and space could be saved here by just giving the "fallacy number" in each others' arguments!

(It might cut down on the fun, though)
