Created simply because http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/how-win-any.php is such an awesome summary of Internet arguments. No need to Godwin! No need to quote gibberish! No need to link! In fact, no need to bother with the little tits at all. Just follow these simple rules: guaranteed to kill 99% of Internet germs.
(Note: this only works if they are misquoting you. But that’s often enough to make it a useful tool.)
Just paste in the trademark, and tick off the following check-boxes:
(1) NEVER DEFEND YOUR OWN POINTS
(2) CLAIM YOU WORK IN WHATEVER FIELD YOU’RE ARGUING ABOUT
(3) IF LOSING AN ARGUMENT, FEIGN FRUSTRATION AND THEN CLAIM YOU’RE BLOCKING THE PERSON
(4) AT SOME POINT IN TIME, CLAIM THE OTHER PERSON IS A NAZI
I think that’s about it, really. You, too, can be Adam King!

Glad you liked that link. I’m trying to find the one that College Humor had as well.
In particular, it had one about arguing for 2 hours, then picking up your ball and going home, claiming everyone arguing are losers, or they’re chumps for falling victim to your baiting.
(1) Linux is totally cool 'cuz it’s based on Unix and Unix was indestructible and everything m$ maeks is dum 'cuz it’s not Unix lol
(2) I’ve used Linux ever since God was a kid and we use it at my work and my aunt and uncle and twice-removed cousins all swer by it and I’ve coded stuff in perl lol
(3) Why won’t you hear about how awful m$ is and how much windoze sux i’m sick of u wintards and nau i’m putting u on ignore becuz u cant reason with an idiot lol
(4) ur just working for m$ and that’s wrong cuz everyone knows bill gates is hitler, satan and ghengis khan all rolled into one lol
I administrate over 9000 Linux desktops in a huge company with an even bigger amount of servers, and without the CLI this would totally not work.
...only strange that you never get to hear the name of such companies, but that’s probably (1) then.
OK, here are my guesses:
(1) blackbelt_jones
(2) that idiot in the Canadian far north who programs his web pages in Pascal (you put in Perl just to confuse us)
(3) we all know who this one is… (AK)
(4) either Dr Roy or else SJVN
Am I close?
