Mycroft's Law

[Mycroft]

I invented a law for the internet/debating community.

Firstly, let's look at Godwin's Law:

"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1"—that is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Hitler or Nazism."

Mycroft's Law states:

"As the probability of a comparison involving Nazi's or Hitler in an online discussion approaches 1, so the probability of someone mentioning Godwin's Law also approaches 1."

Lewisnotmiller's Law....!!

Sure, It's not yet defined, but it seems a straight forward extrapolation of previously established methodology.

Actually, I came up Revoltingest's Law some time ago.
I can't remember what it was though.
Really.

No doubt it was related to old machinery.

I have a replacement.

Revoltingest's Law.....
A poster's argument loses steam for lack of merit,
they accuse you of supporting some vile post because you didn't criticize it,

Corollary....
Poster angrily commands you to criticize that vile post,
otherwise you support it.

Revoltingest's Law:

No poster who is foolish enough to express an opinion is immune from being immortalized via a limerick. The filthier the better.

Of course, some will be disguised to protect the innocent (me) from the banfairies.

I still prefer Brannigan's Law.
