I'd like to see examples for each of the bulleted forms of immunity. Can someone provide this?--notoriousbhb 04:01, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)

Would spurious claims of "bias" in the other side (without evidence) be considered a form of special pleading? Kasreyn 00:25, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

How is "Sure, an omnipotent benevolent deity could and would prevent evil, but free will prevents that." special pleading? Is it reference to vocabulary ("free will")?67.158.76.126 12:47, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

"An omnipotent benevolent deity could and would prevent evil" is a false assertion. This particular sentence is a very bad example; not only is it a questionable use of "special pleading", but it has the much more basic flaw of being built on a false assertion. Thus, it is confusing and unclear, so I have removed it.
