DeMyer's Laws
From RationalWiki
DeMyer's Laws are a collection of internet laws based on the debating style of Ken DeMyer and are named in his honour.
DeMyer's Zeroth Law of Internet Debating states:
| “ | If you are Ken DeMyer, Kdbuffalo, Newton or another of Kenneth DeMyer's aliases, the debate will eventually reach a state where you violate one of the internet laws and you are going to lose. | ” |
DeMyer's First Law of Internet Debating states:
| “ | Anyone who brings Young Earth Creationism into an argument - that is not about creation, the origins of life or the age of Earth - requires no further serious consideration and is deemed to have lost the argument.[1] | ” |
DeMyer's Second Law of Internet Debating states:
| “ | Anyone who posts an argument on the internet which is largely quotations, can be very safely ignored and is deemed to have lost the argument before it has begun.[2] | ” |
DeMyer's Third Law of Internet Debating states:
| “ | Anyone who posts a picture with a caption which does anything other than describe the picture is deemed to have already lost on the point they were trying to make and it can be ignored. | ” |
