Yes, it's an informal logical fallacy. There's nothing inherently better about a middle ground - in some cases it might be worse than the two extremes that it meets between.

I agree. A very simple 101 example would be Side A: Lets execute murderers. Side B: Don't execute murderers. The 'middle ground' could be, okay lets just horribly maim them. Which in my opinion is worse than the other two, partially because it lacks definition.
