Agreed, this happens more often than not -- I think the worst part of internet discourse is ultimately the same issues I have when I argue with my fiance -- no issue is black/white .. they're all grey, many shades of grey (no not
that one) but people tend to argue about them as if they were so simple.
I think everyone would get along better if every single "counter argument" started with: "That's a good point because of X, Y and Z.."
@Archmagexin -- The fallacy you're looking for above would be categorized as
Argument from Fallacy (which is the same as the Fallacy Fallacy) posted above, but again .. the use of that fallacy still doesn't immediately counteract as you mentioned
Tu quoque (Appeal to Hypocrisy)
