That article states it's a logical fallacy, even though it's clearly not. When did this trend of labelling any argument you disagree with a logical fallacy begin anyway?

I dunno, but this guy has some opinions. http://plover.net/~bonds/bdksucks.html

Is the new trope to say "you are just citing fallacies instead of having an argument?"

OK. Then instead I will say:

"The fact that there will be some dividing line between a web browser and something that sends out packets doesn't mean that we cannot establish any regulations at all on web browsers. Like there is some speed that you will get you written up while some speed marginally less than it will not -- this does not mean that there is no such thing as a legal limit on speed. Nerds often think they are Kirk talking the super-computer into destroying itself for having some logical inconsistency, when in reality the world is full of inconsistencies, and the law has already had a long line of jokers line up in court thinking that they are going to use their superior minds to outsmart the system. You are nothing new, you are nothing special, look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair."

I think it's easier on everyone to just link to a Wiki page, but, hey, I can cut-and-paste from my private text files just as easily.
