Are you wearing your jackboots and brown shirt? I think Hitler said something similar. I think you need to read the 1st amendment.

Godwin's Law : As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.

Sorry, couldn't resist ;-)

Interesting point, but in this case, zook is acting like nazi-like in his desire to silence my voice in this forum. I call em as I see em.

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.
