The meta-fallacy of committing a fallacy simply because you've decided that logic doesn't apply to you, your argument, or your preferred conclusions. It's the rhetorical equivalent of playing chess and declaring that your pieces can move however you want because you've decided the rules are arbitrary. The arbitrary fallacy encompasses all other fallacies, but with the added twist that the person committing it knows they're being illogical and simply doesn't care. They've decided that their truth is truer than your facts, their logic is logicaler than your logic, and no amount of reasoning will change their mind because reasoning is just, like, your opinion, man.
