These are a little confusing, so I'm going to ask we all use a standard format. As follows: Quote: Name of FallacyDescription Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Description Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Examples Related Fallacies: Link, Link, Link, Link, Link. Of course, it's not as though you're writing this for your boss- don't worry too much about formal vs. informal diction, just make it legible.

Quote: Poisoning the Well DescriptionAttempts to discredit what a person's claim by producing unsavory information related to said person. The persons using this fallacious reasoning does so to bias others to against the person in question leading others to dismiss said person's argument. It is preemptive, in that it is made before the argument is made. Example:Ginevra Weasley: Ooh, that Skeeter is a Scarlet Woman! She is a foul little bug that will do anything to get a story! Hermione Granger: Definitely! Rita Skeeter: Oliver Wood, Puddlemore United Reserve Trainer, uses Ultra Max deodorant. Hermione Granger: Obviously she is lying. Ginevra Weasley: Yeah, she'll do anything for a story. Related Fallacies:ad hominemQuote: Wishful Thinking Description:Asserts that because one wishes for something to be true, it is. Example:I want there to be something after death. Otherwise, life is depressing. Therefore, there is life after death. Related fallacies:Argumentum ad Consequentiam

I'll take Godwin's Law and Guilt by Association.
I wonder what "I/relative/friend/celebrity/randomperson did it, so everyone can do it no matter what!" is? I know the term is "naivete" (I'm too lazy to use a character map) but is it a fallacy? It's used quite a lot in...certain debates (coughabortioncough).
