In my use of the board over the year or so I have run into many logical fallacies in debates that seem to recur enough that they detract from the general discussion. I would like to direct your attention to what said fallacies are in hopes that in the future we can help minimize them in discussions.
Here is a pretty good general list - Logic and internets
Here is, through the miracles of the quizbowl wiki, the article on Avoision, which discusses logical fallacies that seem to come up more exclusively in quizbowl discussions.
I think if we all try to keep those in mind that this forum could be an even more useful place.
