The new 'Godwin's Law.'
Sep 19^th, 2018 at 2:18pm

In another Thread Gandalf posed:

Quote:

Someone should invent a new term similar to 'Godwin's Law' that describes the inevitability of any discussion on criticism of speech becoming an Islam-bashing exercise.

Peccarry proposed 'Effendi's Law.' Given I coined the expression or rather the way it is used at OzPol, I second that proposal.

All we now need is the 'law' defined.

Reply #1 - Sep 19^th, 2018 at 2:21pm I reckon it goes along these lines: Effendi's Law is used to define the inevitability of any discussion here at OzPol becoming an Islam-bashing exercise. Whenever that occurs, the Member introducing the bash wins The Effendi .

Stuffed if I agree with that OddSocks. The proof is that even FD can see the cleverness in that expression and 'laffs' along with it.

So....suck it up Princess.
