Can we please talk to Dr. Fred, the Poster Child of the Informal Fallacy, if we *really* have to, off line? I had my fill of specious arguments in college already. Speaking of both, I would reccommed any book on elementary logic (Copi used to be a good one), specifically the informal falacies section, if you want a good laugh, and to see why his "Did so, did not! Prove it didn't!" argument style makes me want to step outside and hork in the bushes. I would hate to kill-file people who are normally clueful, but I will, just to get this second-order Fredness out of my face.
