Similar to Godwin's
Law, as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of the discussion descending into ad hominem attacks and nonsense fuelled by apparent hatred or dislike of someone's comment approaches .
That is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone
will begin making insults or start yelling about
Hillary Clinton/Trump/Russia/shills or similar in order to distract and lead to forum-slide.
Coined on reddit in 2018 and named after a reddit user with the same
name, Cencorme's Law originally referred specifically to subreddit discussions. It is now applied to any threaded online discussion, such as
Internet forums, chat rooms, and comment threads, as well as to speeches, articles, and other rhetoric occurs.
When such an event occurs, the person guilty of invoking Cencorme's Law has effectively forfeited the argument.
