The most common logical fallacy is the "rush to disqualify", which often takes the form of a direct or indirect ad hominem attack (name calling, insult).
The second most common logical fallacy is the "appeal to ignorance", which includes the "appeal to complexity".
Common examples include, "go look it up" and or "it's too complicated for me to explain at the moment" and or "it's obvious" which is an appeal to common sense (appeal to ignorance, appeal to vagueness and an indirect ad hominem attack) and it's also a bald assertion.
Any statement that is not an explicit, rigorously defined, appeal to LOGOS (logic) is a fallacy.

Essential sites for (new) steemit users
Protesting without dialogue (with the sole intent to silence opposition) is harassment, not free speech.
I'm not a fan of ad hominem attacks, but I'm even less of a fan of censorship and retaliation.
Ad hominem attacks and air-horning your opponent are the tactics of FASCISM (dismantles open dialogue and civil debate).
By voting for my "payout declined" comments and posts, you are supporting the highest-quality-community-approved-content of the top-earners!!!
When you vote for something that's "payout declined" your contribution goes directly into the "reward pool" which gets distributed to all the posts that make more than $20 steem, with the highest percentage of the pool getting distributed to the top-earners who are providing the highest-quality-community-approved-content!!!
So you're not contributing your steem to me, you're contributing your steem to whoever the whales decide "deserves" your steem (but I still get a small rep boost).
Why am I declining rewards?
Imagine a "democratic" system, where you could vote for your elected officials, but your vote only "counted" as much as you "invested" in the election system itself (election tokens)... Now that by itself sounds reasonably "fair".
bUT, now imagine that anyone with a larger "investment" in the election system could ERASE your vote?
Would you continue voting? Or would you just give directly to the candidate of your choosing?
Also, imagine steem without voting. Imagine they just Hard-Forked voting right out of the whole thing altogether.
What's left?
A lot of really awesome stuff, that's what!!
The delegation system is amazing (way better than pa.treon). The steem-token transfer system is amazing (way better than v.enmo or credit-cards or banks). The blogging system is amazing (way better than tw.itter or fa.cebuk). It's all super-awesome!!
Perhaps anarchy already exists and government is merely the highest manifestation of organized crime. –
