Godwin's Law prov. [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups. However there is also a widely- recognized codicil that any intentional triggering of Godwin's Law in order to invoke its thread-ending effects will be unsuccessful.

Every year some idiot publishes something that indicates the Nazi Party had some good ideas. The idea being that if they built good roads and thought smoking was bad maybe it was just OK to get rid of anyone that made them uncomfortable in big ovens. Stay on guard against the SSPX taint which thinks similarly. read on Charleymane... #reply-16957276 #reply-16957283
