Fallacies can definitely be good and bad; it just depends on the intended purpose of the author. A lot of facetious and ironic writing can hold a fair amount of fallacies just because the author is trying to point out the ridiculousness of an argument or to add some humor to a touchy subject. That is, personally, more enjoyable to read than a lot of reading. I enjoy it especially in writing like newspapers and other short informative articles. I find those kinds of fallacies more fun and more engaging. There are obviously other kinds however. These are normally in skewed data or in some other form of misrepresentation of information. These aren't so good because I feel as though the author knowingly uses skewed sources and purposely doesn't site them because they will discredit his argument.

            I really don’t think that I have practiced enough to correctly use fallacies and I wouldn't feel super comfortable doing it. I think one thing that beginning writers like us could fall into a lot is using fallacies without realizing it (normally due to personal or popular opinion that we don’t realize we need to justify). I wouldn’t feel unethical using fallacies to be more engaging and more easy to relate to for the audience. I do think that other fallacies that change and manipulate are unethical and shouldn't be used. They are something that should be practiced before they can be used correctly just to avoid offending and criticism.
