Should the fallacy reaction be removed?

Debate Information

Please read everything before you jump to conclusions!

It appears that several people on this forum end up accusing people of the wrong fallacies or even end up creating pseudo fallacies to accuse them of. Then you get others and sometimes me in the past that have taken the fallacy reaction personally. It's kind of like a game of chess and when you lose can end up taking it as some sort of personal insult. And because some people get upset about the fallacy reaction we should remove it.

WAIT A MINUTE! The above is a fallacy. It's an appeal to pity. AKA argumentum ad misericordiam. Just because some people at times get upset about a fallacy reaction is not a good reason for removing it at all. ,

Whoa, not only can I make fallacies accidentally; I can make them deliberately. Dam I'm good and so modest with it eh? Oh wait, that's just ego talking, slightly inflated after a few alcoholic beverages.
