In light of all the "I would never XXXXX, but I respect the rights of others to
XXXXX" notes, it seems obvious that is unacceptable as an argument.  However,
it is a reasonable statement of position.  Because it is a statement of
position, it is not a case of the fallacy of argument special pleading.

Ridicule by paraphrasing is fun, but is only a fallacy of argument itself unless
it also exposes special pleading.
