[info]sluggirl's Law†:

If side A presents its argument in a reasonably polite, grammatically correct fashion, and side B responds by sarcastically rephrasing side A's argument in AOLspeak, without including an actual rebuttal, side B is declared to be without a valid argument.

Example:
A: I find your statement to be incredibly offensive.
B: OMGWTF J00R SO MEEN I'M A L0SER WHO CANT TAKE A JOKE!!11!!!11five!!!!
A: *wins*


Corollary:
The first person to resort to posting GIFs from SomethingAwful loses the argument.

Example:
A: I find your statement to be incredibly offensive.
B: [picture of Tubgirl]
A: *wins*

†Does not necessarily apply when outside observers are mocking either side of the argument, i.e. in a [info]fandom_wank post.

[Has this already been written? I couldn't find it, anyway. Also, suggestions for a name will be greatly appreciated.]
