Gold's law

[QUOTE=- Tony -]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.[/QUOTE]

Murc XIII's Law: As a thread progresses, the probability of a poster to suggest the name "Nailface" for a hedgehog approaches 1. When this occurs, the probability of another poster responding by suggesting the name "Death" is found by dividing the length of the thread in posts by the length of time since the Hedgehog thread was posted in seconds.

Massassi Law - It's not about being right, it's about knowing that the other person is wrong.

Daft's Law - If the topic goes well, contribute meaningful sentiments. If badly, inject humor into it to the point of excessive saturation, in an attempt to dowse the flames.

Forum debates often degenerate like this:

1) Person A makes an argument.
2) Person B makes a rebuttal.
3) Person A makes a really good rebuttal.
4) Person B is unable to counter what Person A said so he does either of the following:
- Attempts to pick apart Person's A grammar. If successful, tries to make Person A lose crediblilty by making the bad grammar evidence that Person A is a moron.
- Attempts to patronize Person A by using whatever knowledge he knows of the person and stretch it to make himself superior.
- Over generalizes Person A, trying to make his argument not have crediblity
- When all else fails, resorts to petty generic insults but tries to make them sound intellictual in an attempt to patronize Person A.

Depends what program you're using. If it's photoshop, just don't use a background, delete the background, whatever.

Is the unit for fanaticism word-seconds there?

Yeah, it's word-seconds. Dimensionally, it has to be, unless someone wants to come up with units for Tony's constant.

Actually no. I never rebutted you and you never rebutted me. I went straight to making fun of you.

No, I like it. It's funny. And there's truth to it. (I think I grew a sense of humor in the past three months sometime).

Addition to my example:

1) Person A makes an argument
2) Person B can't come up with a good rebuttal but he really really hates either Person A or what Person A is saying so he resorts to what I listed in #4 of the previous example.

maevie's law: when registering at a forum populated by teenage male nerds, do not mention that you are a girl, as this would be attention whoring. Instead, have someone that you know in real life make a post to say so, then sit back and bask in the attention.
