→Delete Non-fallacious Uses section?
== Delete Non-fallacious Uses section? ==
== Delete Non-fallacious Uses section? ==
IMHO, this section needs to be deleted. It's not only hypocritical and false, it's also (ironically enough) one of the worst uses of argumentum ad hominem I've ever seen. At the very least, it needs reformatted. Joseph Kony advocates worshipping Christ, and using the logic in that section, his (supposed) love of Christ would be bad, and (so it is implied) anyone else who loves Christ would be immoral, as well. On the other hand, you could easily dismiss a schizophrenic's argument that bugs are crawling over him, you, and the walls and burrowing inside everything. In short, bad character doesn't automatically make ones argument worthless, but mental disorders do (or should, IMO). [[User:Kicple|Kicple]] 10:45, 13 April 2012 (EDT)

::Well, it's been almost a month with no reply. Either no one cares, or no one has seen this. Either way, I'm going to go ahead and take it down.
