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.
Ah, so if I call you a Nazi, I lose, while if you are a Nazi, you win...
This variation in Godwin's Law is apt since you have accused me of being PRO-SLAVERY! All because I said the that General Grant drank! (And we didn't even get to his terrific job as President of the US).
So, you've lost (but many on this thread knew you were a loser already...)
Oh, I am simply crushed because Pharmboy thinks I'm a loser...in fact, there's probably two or three other people on the thread who think so too...oh, crushed! Crushed, I am!
Whatever shall I do?
Maybe I'll go have a dram of single-malt to wash away the blues...
