Yeah, I don't think he has ever claimed that he created the phrase.

Um... That phrase has been around on bumper stickers a lot longer than Wheaton has, but good on him for rebranding it I guess!

I got that impression when Cenk says at the beginning "how did you come up with the clever line...", and he doesn't really dispute it. Not a big deal!

I like Wheaton more and more every time I see him doing nerd/geek stuff. Certainly 'Don't be a dick' is an old term, but it's use as Wheaton's Law is new and so very much needed as even the PC has been seeing more and more of these 13 year olds and their horrible etiquette online.

I still don't understand how Wheaton is relevant. He did an awful job acting an awful character on TNG and hasn't done anything remarkable since. I guess his main skill is convincing other people who actually have talent to let him hang out with them.
