Excellent! I think I need to bookmark these. It is very difficult not to ascribe to these fallacies in communication because we tend to become reactive and set logic aside.

I'm glad that they have been of help.
Yes, sometimes it is hard to apply these when our emotions take over. Mindfulness techniques help in staying assertive and logical with "Spock mentality" :-)
