Really. We are not going to pester you too much...

That's it!!

"Begging the Question" in the truest sense of the phrase.

Well done.

NOPE!!

Don't you dare!

That is not "Begging the Question." 

That "implies that we ask" or some such...

Tricky!

NO! This is not begging the question.

It is just a bad / invalid argument.

But no crafty premise, so not begging the question!

I'd still be ok if you call this one begging the question though 😉
