Come now, let us reason.

The most annoying fallacy of all :


x : I think what you're doing is wrong. You're being two faced, just examine yourself. The way you're treating SOME individuals compared to how you said you were going to treat them... Not to mention you're being the very one thing that you despised in your own best friend.
y : No I'm not wrong. I am right you are wrong. You are not in a position to judge me. Don't compare me to them, it's different.



Y commits a fallacy here by failing to explain why she isn't wrong. X has the right to voice out his/her opinion because of personal experiences and from his/her own perspectives.

Y is being arrogant because he/she quickly denies all accusations without properly listing out any reasons why he/she can do so. He/she quickly shifts the blame to X, even though X has properly justified his/her terms of the argument.
