Not that I agree with the post or anything, but slippery slope being a fallacy is a fallacy. Key fact is the idea of precedent which is by definition is quite similar to the slippery slope idea (assuming you disagree with the precedent in question).

Hmm maybe you didn't mean that slippery slope is not a fallacy, but rather not always? because it can be a fallacy. Question is if it is here: does it appeal to emotion without arguments (or as you mentioned with precedents) to back up that if event A will happen, then event Z will?
