I would be interested to hear some feedback, comments and criticisms about these posts, and ask a specific question; would you like me to continue posting about logical fallacies, or should I move on to discussing other topics?

From where I sit, I would like to see you move on. However, that is only because I know what logical fallacies are, how to spot them, and not to use them.

If you truly believe that you are helping educate people who have not come across logical fallacies before, than keep it up. However, I think your time would be better spent on new subjects.

Thanks for the input, its much appreciated.

I was thinking of a compromise between the two, i.e: continuing to make posts about critical thinking, and making some other posts on different topics as well. But if the over all consensus is to move away from this topic then I shall do so.

What you could do is give actual examples. Find an article(s) full of logical fallacies. Point out the logical fallacies and debunk the article(s) at the same time. This way, you are still discussing a topic that you seem to enjoy, but you are also creating new content in a debunking of an article(s).
