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.

Get the half-sibling-in-lawmug. The Warmongler Law mandates proportional consequences for warmongers bugs, like throwing individuals at walls. For each documented act of harm, a corresponding Reciprocal Bug is enforced, mirroring the original harm's nature and severity. The law prioritizes fairness, proportionality, and the principle of reciprocity in addressing warmonger-induced harm.
Warmonger threw me into a wall and I got stuck in his totem, but the next time he threw me I went through the wall and was saved. Thank goodness for warmongler law
