I hereby propose "Connonym's Law"
Edited on Tue Apr-03-07 01:55 PM by Connonym
S/he who uses the term "strawman" in their argument loses by default. A) because I'm sick of that word and B) it's lazy and not, in and of itself, an actual repudiation of whatever is being debated.

ETA: I rest my case.
