I couldn't think of a better place to put this thread, so sorry if it's out of place.
I am just wondering what fallacies you see most often. This could be in real life or even on the forums. Personally I see the Straw-man and argumentum ad hominem the most, but the Bandwagon fallacy and Ipse Dixit (appeal to authority) also seem to appear frequently.
For a list of fallacies and meanings, see: http://changingminds.org/disciplines/argument/fallacies/fallacies_alpha.htm or even wikipedia seems to be reliable for this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies
