i took a course in sentential logic some years back.  
mostly syllogistic and square of opposition stuff. not the newer more 
powerful models.

but the coursebook had a great list of fallacious argument types in the back.

mark.  i think you hit on a fair portion of them in your homage to rob's
silliness.

fun to watch.  but my experience is that reality just has nothing to do with 
what goes on in that guys head.  and all the airtight argument in the world 
won't help that.

unfortunatly, as with rusty we have to keep an eye on the posts to be sure 
he doesn't dangerously misinform a newby.

and because of the need for attention, his posts increase in idiocy as 
responses dwindle.

the perfect troll.
