Gold's law

I think there should be something like this. I'm not trying to start a flame war (I think).

Gold's Law: When a person realizes that the flames he or she has created in a thread is too hot to handle, this person will take a leave, for he or she believes "time will heal all BS." If this leave is not successful, he or she will doom this offending thread with a nuke of BS.

Anyone else can come up with "laws" that describe forum behavior?

Yoshi's Law: When you find a perfectly good thread, you rip it to shreds by starting an arguement over nothing, hence derailing the thread. This law is punishable by hatred on the forums by anyone on the receiving side of this law's acts.

This thread is going south, fast.

I had a blog. It sucked.

Freelancer's Law: If you can't make your point in a debate, b**** and moan about things until your opponent gets pissed and leaves and you win by natural concession.

Ok, he's probably going to let me have it hard now...

Pagewizard_YKS's Law: When in situations involving the opposite sex, flex your masculine muscles and show her how much you don't care. When she leaves the scene with another, less assholish male counterpart, come to %forum% and give relationship advice as though you are an expert. When ridiculed, speak of relationships from the perspective of the Karate Kid. Leave thread prematurely. Repeat.

Jon'C's law: Wait until a thread grows beyond three pages, then come in and explain in the harshest terms possible why everyone, including the people you agree with, is wrong.

Rob's law: Tell at least one person per thread that they suck (e.g. "you suck"), making sure that it is never the same person each time. If there are protests, enumerate your unassailable and unquantifiable awesomeness (e.g. "because I'm better than you") and leave the thread.

That's true: when faced with a difficult situation, you do shut up and run away in terror. How introspective! I'm impressed.

Well this thread is great and all, but they're not actually the kinds of laws you're trying for.

The Law of "Civil" Discussion: Fanaticism is directly proportional to the original post length multipied by the average number of quotes and supposedly relevant links in follow-up posts and by the length of time the thread continues in this fashion before the thread is locked or one or both parties are banned.

Hey, Blue? I'm loving the things you do. From the very first time, the fight you fight for will always be mine.
