Ergo decedo, Latin for "therefore I leave" or "then I go off", also known as the “traitorous critic fallacy”, is a bad faith rhetorical fallacy that involves responding to a critique by implying that the critic is motivated by undisclosed favorability to a group, rather than responding to the criticism itself.
