The scenario above is a hypothetical one.

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

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.

You (closely followed by myself) have done more for Duchess64’s superficial popularity than anything else could have done, anything at. Nothing could do more for Duchess64’s popularity that what you (closely followed myself) have done.

If Adolf Hitler had become a born again, sackcloth and ashes miracle worker and raised from the dead all the millions of people he had murdered, hired a gigantic hall and threw a party where they each received, a fully bill of health and youthful life, the equivalent of a £1,000,000 in compensation, sex with whatever person they liked and one superpower each…then Hitler would still not have reached the turnaround levels of superficial popularity which you (closely followed by myself) have done for Duchess64 here at RHP.

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.

It appears some people are finding that this thread is creating a disturbance in the force which maintains their underpants in a non-twisted formation.

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