LOL!   :laugh:

Thinking about the responses, I realize that the part that bugs me is less where you're insulting whoever you're talking about (as pointed out, "lying" and "being an arsehole" are both pretty good ways of describing it), and more just the attempt to degrade the means used to pursue whatever the final goal is - the argument that the thing in question shouldn't exist if it doesn't result in you getting what you want.  Like, "if I win the Superbowl, gimme the trophy; if I don't, cancel all future Superbowls (but still gimme the trophy)." 

Something more along the lines of the poisoning the well fallacy?
