I've been contemplating a tool like this for a while... but the issues are that not many people understand fallacies even after reading a definition, nor are those new to them readily willing to sift through a dictionary of them.

I hope this evolves into something bigger than a forum post, because our present method of written communication lacks our ability to do things like this without losing track of the argument.

I would love to hear more about your thoughts - My hope is to teach people how to make stronger arguments for their case.
It would be nice if the inspired by line actually linked to the essay.
Of course! Just changed it! Thanks.
Is it really worth posting links to HN to Launchrock holding pages?
Do people find arguing fun enough to do on its own?
The plan is not to "host" arguments, but rather a place where people can point out others logical mistakes - hoping they will learn from them and improve. Makes sense?
Isn't this what forums and places like HN are for?
