Hi guys!

So, since coming to AF I have taken an interest in formal logic, and logical fallacies. I've been perusing the web for fallacy practice quizzes, and logic 101-type crash courses, but I was wondering if you well-trained whizzes might have some recommended resources for a lay person of average intelligence like me! I figured you guys probably know some of the better sites because you've used them as tools. Any input would be wonderful! . Thanks in advance! [emoji5]

Nice post. Ya, ya, me too. I need me some undumbnification!

Nice reference:

Not nitpicking as I understood your meaning, but the fallacies you wish to discover are actually part of informal logic.

Happy hunting!

No, I APPRECIATE the nitpicking! How else will I learn?

LFC, just remember the golden logic triangle!

Jesus is a man
Stimbo is also a man!
Do I need to spell it out?

Yes, it's true! He really is our resident in prophet!

I thought this here was a non prophet organization!

It's very unlikely that, given the thoughts you've expressed in your posts, that you're just average in intelligence. I suspect most members here would be at least above average (IQ-wise).

Is there a punchline coming Irrational?
Or is that it? Just good old fashioned blunt rudeness?

I had to quote this just to show that I got it. 

In case you've not seen it, I have a page about it on my website here, but it may be too basic for what you're looking for. It's meant to be a gentle introduction with a few common examples of each fallacy/shitty technique. I need to add a few more on there, but I've got most of the ones you see all the time.
