I have an acquaintance whose main method of argument is shouting out names of logical fallacies without pointing out to the person he's arguing with where and how it applies.

This list is helpful as a guide to spot errors in reasoning. It is not helpful as a tool to facilitate discussion.

If you use this reference, do us all a favor and discuss how the fallacy applies in the current discussion, and treat the person with some respect at least.

So he should read the section on the "fallacy fallacy."
