The scenario above is a hypothetical one.

Do you have any examples of Godwin's Law in reality on the General Forum?

So why do you hate Jews?

It's not that I hate them, per se. There just aren't any Jews involved in making Bill's Big Bag of Onions [have you listened to it by the way?]. Adolf Hitler didn't have any Jews making his radio programmes either, as far as I know, and those programmes - as Duchess64 pointed out - were listened to by more people than any of my programmes.

NOooo
I can't listen to music, it interferes with my tinnitus.

For the ignorant people like myself from Wikipedia:

Godwin's law, short for Godwin's law (or rule) of Nazi analogies,[1][2] is an Internet adage asserting that as an online discussion grows longer (regardless of topic or scope), the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Adolf Hitler becomes more likely.[2][3]

Duchess64 is the website's most prominent embodiment of Godwin's Law in everyday action, to my way of thinking. She has suddenly mentioned Hitler, in replies to me, what feels like 40 or 50 times in the last 10 years.



Be that as it may, but he was probably right about the supposed penalty.

A corollary also states that the first person to bring up Hitler or the Nazis in an argument automatically loses that argument.
