What is So's Law -

[Always in His Presence]

There is a poster that brings it up - I googled it, can't find anything on it.

Is it real, or a convenient made up term?

Funny, I looked it up in Google 10 minutes ago. I didn't find anything either.

If you need me to educate you on anything else, please ask me directly instead of creating a call out thread and not even naming me in the OP.

You're welcome.

You've been a member here for a month. You don't really know the internal culture of CF's discussion and debate subforums yet.

It's not as widespread as poe's law or godwin's law.

It basically states: If someone quotes another poster and then paraphrases up their point starting with the word "so", he almost certainly creates a strawman in the process.

I don't need you for anything, especially education. And asking the question of what a term means is hardly a call out thread. I opened a separate thread asking for a definition so as not to derail a thread.

Thank you for your response. Now I have learned something I didn't know. Many thanks.

Evidently I am not the only one who didn't know this invented word.

Sorry, did you mean Sod's Law? If so, I'm not really sure how you meant for it to apply here.

Evidently I am not the only one who didn't know this invented word.

Actually it's a phrase and I can see why you're emphasizing that it's invented, as opposed to Poe's Law, Sod's Law and Godwin's Law that sprung organically from the earth.

That's what PM's are for.

A term that is made up by USincognito.

A term that is made up by USincognito.

But it is pretty accurate if you look and take note.

We already have a term for it, it's called a straw man.
A sentence being with the word so, does not automatically make a straw man.

Which is why it seems everytime you say something certain people disagree with and start the sentence with "So" they bleat, "SO'S LAW!" like it means something.

It's just a strawman there's no need to complicate it for one persons ego.

And yet you act like your petulant whining and wailing somehow makes it not an accurate observation.

It's just a strawman there's no need to complicate it for one persons ego.

I'm sorry that So's Law upsets you so much, but you've been here long enough to know where the ignore function is.

I have a more important question, what is "wat"?
