I get a Law? Yay!

It's kind of a bit long and drawn out but hey, I still get a law!

Now here are a few suggestions on improving it's general structure. Come on, it's my law after all! XD

Should the law itself not read:

"Anyone repeatedly stating their status as a regular of a forum/community/board as the greatest or sole reason for their qualification to speak on a subject shall lose half their respectability."

The second corollary would be better if it read: "If they don't even sign their name to the messages while not registered/signed in (until asked "Who the hell are you?" or something similar), they lose half their remaining respectability." (It's better than leaving 'somesuch' hanging like it does at the moment. Actually I'm not even sure 'somesuch' is a word!)

The Third Corollary should perhaps read:

"If the offender implies or states outrightly that other members of the board are obviously not regulars if they have not heard of the wanker offender, the total of the previous law's and corollary's deductions is deducted from the remaining respectability, allowing for negative numbers."

(I'm not so sure about the general validity of this one being part of my law though as I didn't actually imply or state outrightly that other members of the board are obviously not regulars if they haven't heard of me. Oh well!)

Finally, could you perhaps restate the fourth corollary so it doesn't end with a preposition?

I'm not claiming to have always used good grammar in my posts but this is the law after all! XD

Hey, can you please keep the numbering system in order in the corollaries to my law please? 'Fifth' (also written '5th') comes after 'Fourth' (also written '4th') and 'Fifth Corollary' has yet to make an appearance. Thanks! Here are the first ten (also written '10') natural numbers in order as a future reference for you:

One(1),Two(2),Three(3),Four(4),Five(5),Six(6),Seven(7),Eight(8),Nine(9),Ten(10).

Edit: If you wank Cathal's Law while STILL not signed in, you'll get a phone call with a creepy voice saying "Fap, fap, fap", and in seven days the hive vagina will come out of your TV and drench you.

THAT, I assumed, was Fifth Corollary. Sorry for any misunderstandings.

Oh, and Mr./Miss Anon, for being a condescending piece of dirt and insulting my intelligence:

*stabs you One(1),Two(2),Three(3),Four(4),Five(5),Six(6),Seven(7),Eight(8),Nine(9),Ten(10) in the forehead with a rusty knife*

Please die. Kay? ^_^ Thanks!

I'm afraid you assumed wrong. Would you like me to explain it again, babe?

Sorry for any misunderstandings.

* wonders what exactly does 'sorry' mean in your part of the ~~cave~~ world *

Oh, and Mr./Miss Anon,...

"Mr.", actually...not exactly Anon though...

for being a condescending piece of dirt and insulting my intelligence:

Hey, one good ~~turn~~ wank deserves another!

I think the next part of your ~~mini-tantrum~~ post should read:

" *stabs you One(1),Two(2),Three(3),Four(4),Five(5),Six(6),Seven(7),Eight(8),Nine(9),Ten(10) times in the forehead with a rusty knife* </i> "

Well done with the numerical order though! ;-)

From the definition in our community profile on f_w:

"Trolling": Frequently this is used to discredit one position in an argument. By asserting that one's opponents are trolls, one is asserting that they are only maintaining their position in order to feed the flames, and that their position is actually indefensible. This use of "troll" is however then an 'ad hominem' argument, and is itself thus usually indefensible.

You poor darlings could just as (or maybe more!) easily be accused of trolling me because of comments I made a few days ago on a thread. I've been (bravely!) fighting off the flaming and trolling ever since! XD

Aw Sara, don't be like that. I kinda liked you! Good icons!

Some comments:

"Forget it. You're not worth anymore energy....let's just ignore the retard, they're so unworthy."

Don't the above comments by you break a truckload of the laws here on jurisimprudence? I'd look up the exact names but if you're not coming back *sniffs* it would be a bit of a waste.

Also, when you began:

Everyone let's just...

Doesn't this type of rallying call implying that you're the popular/senior person in this argument break your 'Sixth Corollary' to my law above which is the subject of this very post??? I suppose you could argue the toss but it'd be a close call!

I'll quote your corollary of my law again below for your convenience!

" Sixth Corollary: ANY form of popularity or seniority used as an argument will result in automatic loss. (Aka the "I'm a BNF so I can do anything I want and I'm always right!" "SHUT UP!" *thwack* law) "

This is just too funny for words! In fact, it's probably deserving of a law all unto itself!

Bye Sara!

	You're a troll. I'm trying to encourage people not to answer you anymore.

	Sara dearest, like I said already, any of us could be argued to be trolls though at this stage perhaps 'flame war' would be the more appropriate term for the exchange. And I've no particular desire to wank you at this stage - unless you're really good looking, that is! Are you? ;-) Btw, the icons are coming along nicely! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
