Said clash being: a troll has said, “a ninja totally beat up, like, every Shaolin monk LOL!”
To which Sholin monks were quick to respond “No way ninjas can beat kung-fu. You totally can’t say that! I’m gonna sue you.”

“The facts that the monks could not defeat a Japanese ninja showed that they were named as kung fu masters in vain,” the Internet user was quoted as saying in the post.

The Shaolin temple “strongly condemned the horrible deeds” of the user, the newspaper said.

Godwin’s Law states: “As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.” Thus we can see, arguments on the internet always ends up in slack-jaw land eventually. It may be prudent to add the “I’ll sue you” rule to the list of things that make internet arguments ridiculous.

Here is the article about the conflict. This really made the news? Did no one tell the Bejing News these rules? And do Shaolin monks really have nothing better to do than sue a troll?
