I don't think anybody I listed under either side of the subject sacrificed their credibility in any way? Maybe Hitler? Undecided

I'm sorry, I was replying to theOP in an old tab. I didn't realize all the replies were up there.

My point, though, is that getting caught out in a fallacy undermines your credibility even when you move on to sounder argumentation.

Mind you, I'm not saying to avoid passion or even rhetorical effect in making a point. There's nothing wrong with passionate argumentation built on a solid foundation.

My apologies about any confusion I caused.
