"...describe me an instance where two wrongs do make a right."

Your slogan. You explain it.

I already explained it to you. "Two wrongs don't make a right" is a statement of logic. The reason I use it as a tagline is because I see the "two wrongs make a right" fallacy used here often, and it saves me time to just point to the tagline when I come across it.

You were under the impression that it is not a statement of logic, but some sort of personal opinion. I asked you to disprove the statement by falsification.

FYI-- this explains it better. Logical Fallacy: Two Wrongs Make A Right

I still am. Because, in many cases, that is all it will ever be.

Look, I consider your tagline simple sloganeering because we will never agree on the second wrong--i.e., that it is in fact a "wrong". It may be to you, but not to the other guy. However, in the unlikely event of an agreement that there are indeed two "wrongs", I suppose you have a point.

And where, in the name of heaven, did you find that "logic site"? I thought I had seen just about everything.
