-This is the introduction of an intentional logical fallacy to try and make the other person look ridiculous.  One scenario would be a person who is hesitant to accept the latest changes to the DR system due to a specific concern.  An arguing party might state: "You don't support the newest DR system?  Do you intend to let this sight turn completely lawless?"  Now, the first person quite probably does not subscribe to such an extreme, but none the less is accused of such.  This is meant to make the first person look bad to their peers by the second, even though it has no factual basis.  Sometimes used by politicians against each other, it is an intentional tactic.  If the attempt is perceived for what it is and fails, it may be played off as an attempt at sarcasm.  Please avoid this one, as it is one of the dirtiest tricks in the book.+This is the introduction of an intentional logical fallacy to try and make the other person look ridiculous.  One scenario would be a person who is hesitant to accept the latest changes to the DR system due to a specific concern.  An arguing party might state: "You don't support the newest DR system?  Do you intend to let this site turn completely lawless?"  Now, the first person quite probably does not subscribe to such an extreme, but none the less is accused of such.  This is meant to make the first person look bad to their peers by the second, even though it has no factual basis.  Sometimes used by politicians against each other, it is an intentional tactic.  If the attempt is perceived for what it is and fails, it may be played off as an attempt at sarcasm.  Please avoid this one, as it is one of the dirtiest tricks in the book.
