Flerfs are generally bad faith cultists; over other population segments, they disproportionately exhibit lying, abuse, threats/bullying, harassment, mental illness, antisemitism, and breaking the law.
This gives rise to the adage: Gotta lie to flerf, which is formalized with more detail in Toon's laws of flerf (list below).
Formal list
- Flerf citations always contradict the flerf’s claim. No exceptions.
- Flerf challenges are fake. Two exceptions.
- Flerfs are pseudoscientists when evaluating FE and science deniers when evaluating globe evidence. No exceptions.
- Every attempt to flerf-explain a phenomenon contradicts flerf-explanations of some other phenomena. No exceptions.[1]
Proposed addenda
There is a proposed fifth law that has not yet gained formal status:
- Every flerf claim about glober character or rhetoric is a self-report, actually describing flerf character and rhetoric.
Examples
- Category:1st Law of Flerf — flerf citations contradicting the flerf's claim
- Category:2nd Law of Flerf — fake flerf challenges
Exceptions to the laws of flerf
- Flat earther Steve from England challenged Critical Think to record his travel to Australia after The Final Experiment and paid.
- Flat earther Steve from England issued an open challenge to prove what Jeran Campanella said while talking about the path of the sun during The Final Experiment and paid.
