For those who believe the Web fosters only barely mindful surfing, we offer the following site as counterargument. The Fallacy Files, mentioned in Critical Thinking on the Web's Top Ten and authored by a former teacher of college logic, features virtually exhaustive descriptions with examples and counterexamples of logical fallacies. The fallacies are readily accessible through an alphabetical index and may also be consulted in terms of the categories of linguistic and nonlinguistic as well as by example -- this last method consists of a kind of reverse dictionary of fallacies. In addition, the Website offers a brief list of annotated resources on the subject.
