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

Why does Duchess64 keep suddenly mentioning Adolf Hitler when she is replying to me?

Perhaps PM them and ask directly? Unless you are on their “naughty” list.🤔

The mentioning of Hitler has happened in public over and over and over again. Why would discussion of it need to be in private?

Private conversation can be done in private and need not be aired in the forums. We don’t need to hear about yours, and other’s, issues with certain members.

Speak for yourself. As I said, the mentioning of Hitler has happened in public over and over and over again. It didn't happen in "private conversation". If you are not interested in "Godwin's Law" as it plays itself out on this public forum, perhaps this thread is just not for you.

If what you are suggesting is that Duchess64 makes her Hitler comparisons in PMs to me rather than in public, why don't you confront her about it, instead of me?

Very interesting. Not come across Godwin's law before. Probably true.
A sort of realistic take on the proverbial cage of monkeys with pens that will eventually write out the complete works of Shakespeare.
