Forums - Website Topics - I propose a Godwin-type law

For those not familiar, Godwin's law states that any argument, if allowed to continue for a long enough period of time, will eventually degenerate to the point where one party compares the other to Nazi Germany, or Hitler, and in doing so forfeit their point. I propose that anyobody found using the word "fanboy" to describe their fellow posters in a negative manner on a repetative basis recieve a "Fanboy: do not listen" tag below their username in every post. I wear my "fanboy" label with a badge of honor, but I believe that people who use such lazy tactics to discredit their opponent are almost always fanboys themselves. So if they want to discredit someone else, everyone should know how little credibility they themselves have. You can call it "fishamaphone's law." Just don't capitolize the "f."
