7) The "You can't write a good limerick" attack. The "don't you know that it's a five line poem?...where the first, second, and fifth lines rhyme and so do the third and fourth. The first, third, and fifth have the same verbal rhythm (meter) and length, and so do the second and fourth?" This never works, because the attacker becomes the subject of the next limerick, making the attacker the greater fool.
