Also, an explanation of the fallacies I mentioned that you mocked on the Shout Box (yes, I saw that):

Ad baculum: Appeal to fear, which goes a little something like this: "Before you block this user, think about what will happen if I quit." It can also be more obvious, like: "DON'T BLOCK THIS USER, OR I WILL QUIT! HAPPY NOW?"

Ad baculum literally means argument to the stick, i.e., an argument appealing to fear of something (hence, the stick).

Genetic Fallacy: Trying to disprove something like a political stance or just a plain item by pointing out its disagreeable origins, e.g., "Compasses are evil items because they were invented by the tyrant King Bob V." Compasses may have started out as evil items, but that doesn't necessarily mean their current use is also evil.
