36. The strawman fallacy is by far the most common but poisoning
the well is probably even more annoying, frequently juvenile, and is readily apparent whenever Ralph Nader or some other noted Green makes a perfectly valid point on a very important issue.

If this type of behavior simply reflected the shallow minds of the posters, that would be fine, but unfortuately it degrades the quality of the whole site.
