The Rule of the Internet (and Life)
 

Wheaton's Law
for more on Wheaton's Law start here

It's TRUE!

Unless it's your name.

It was Cecil's Law more than a decade earlier, though in the form of Don't be a Jerk."

Unfortunately, that rule is not clear enough for many people and it tends to accrete clarifications over time.

Who is this FEJ guy, anyway? ;)

I'm not entirely sure FEJ is a person, I suspect it's one of those "Artificial Intelligence" programs that someone gave a LoT membership to. It would explain a lot. Afterall, has anyone actually seen FEJ?

I have personally viewed a FEJ but not in many aeons.

Sure... That's what they want you to think you remember!

I clicked on it and it sent me to a page where he was hocking his book. Bastard!
:D

I thought the rule of the internet was "Be a Dick!"

Now you're talking like Hitler!

You know who else talked like Hitler?

Obama!

Ooh, reverse Godwin!

Back to the original topic, this so called rule seems to be derivative from the sage wisdom of our very own Not Afraid.

I prefer "Don't Be a Douche".


EDIT: HA!

Be a baignoire instead!

[quote=JWBear;336504]I read that as Bacon-aire - like a millionaire but with bacon. Mmmm.

"The Bacon-Aire... By Ronco!"

Like that's possible....;)

I think that's more of a guideline or best practice than a law

Haha I actually own ruleoftheinternet.com and put that link in to give Wil proper credit. :-)
