Meanderings of a Monkey Juggler

I've been in a few online discussions recently.  I've noticed there are some rules that seem to apply.  You may have heard of Godwin's Law.  This seems to be the apotheosis of internet discussion laws but there are lesser laws as well.

1. When you have no real comeback to someone you must insult their grammar.
2. When insulting someone's grammar you must make at least one grammatical error.
3. If you are American you must accept that any comments that slightly take exception to the US's foreign or domestic policy are indicative of the author's disgust and hatred of all things American.
4. Further to 3 - this means you must now embarrass yourself by a: stating this and b: mentioning that you "won the war" and "where's the gratitude?"
5. When stating anything that varies from received wisdom expect to be either ignored completely or flamed.
6. Even when you're right. (do I sound bitter?)

There are probably more but they'll do for now.

Have fun.

PS I would like to claim ownership of laws one and two.  I reckon "Beers' First and Second Laws" sounds quite dignified for such a ludicrous thing.
