Metal Forum

The heavy metal forum is found on sites such as VampireFreaks, Ultimate Guitar Tabs, GaiaOnline, and other social or music sites. You can expect many Metal Elitists and emo teenagers within these walls.

The emo kids start topics about Bullet For My Valentine or Slipknot and talk about other emo shitty bands. These kids are usually spat on and booted from the mods.
The Elitists tell those kids to fuck off and die. All while talking about their shitty underground black metal bands. Any bands they don't like are considered not metal. Any band with more than 10,000 fans are considered sell-outs and mainstream.
Fights always break out between the two sides, with the Emo usually throwing the "It's my Opinion" and "Freedom of Speech" arguments, and the elitist using the "No, it's a fact that (band) is SHIT" argument.
Typical Metal Forum Scenario

14-Year old in a Recommendation Thread: Check out these bands!
Job for a Cowboy
Bullet for my Valentine
Five Finger Death Punch

Elitist: I'd rather have cancer and AIDS simultaneously than to listen to that shit.

Formal Meta-Fallacies

Meta-errors related to the realm of formal logic and deductive reasoning. This involves incorrectly asserting that an argument's formal structure is invalid when it is valid, or valid when it is invalid. It can also include the mistake of treating a formally valid but utterly unrealistic syllogism as a serious argument, or dismissing a formally invalid argument whose conclusion nonetheless happens to be true based on other evidence. It's pedantry or confusion at the level of logical syntax.
Formal Meta-Fallacies Example: Someone presents a logically valid deductive argument: "All cats are reptiles. Fluffy is a cat. Therefore, Fluffy is a reptile." A critic, missing the point about the false premise, attacks it by saying, "That's affirming the consequent!" This is a Formal Meta-Fallacy—they've incorrectly identified the formal structure. The argument is actually valid but unsound due to the false first premise.
