Those who apply it would stoop also to Argumentum ad baculum no doubt.

Me I prefer Argumentum ad logicum one has to assume that the majority are reasonable people.

However, there ere some non-fallacious examples of Argumentum ad Baculum

e.g.

If you drive while drunk, you will punished.
You want to avoid punishment.
Therefore you should not drive while drunk.

The best of all arguments is

Argumentum ad inebrium

e.g.

Fuck the lot of you
I'm off down the pub

Are yes, the long awaited word. I knew someone would say it one day. And I agree, not just with you, but with Lynton. Let the proles have their sun crossword, I for one, am glad to get rid of it.

And, Argumentum Infetum Dentum, but only if you are on the NHS.

In Monty Python terminology,

"Is this a ten minute argument or a five minute argument? I only paid for a five minute argument." (Paraphrasing)

The argumentum ad Londinium was had by many a Roman with his taxi driver.

Everybody loses with argumentum ad tem.

However, everyone is a winner with argumentum ad victor.
