Specific comparisons applied to groups of believers - e.g. that a group is like Westboro, Islam or Nazism in their beliefs or tactics - should also be expected on "open" Religion Forum threads.
However if the comparison is made to an individual Freeper, personally, that is "making it personal" and not tolerable at all. It is flame bait.
Having said all that, Godwin's Law says that once an internet correspondent raises Nazi or Hitler comparisons in the debate, he has bottomed out and the one so accused can declare himself the winner.
I apply it more generally in that people do not throw spitwads when they have ammunition. If your opponent has been so reduced to childish tactics, declare yourself the winner and walk away.
Ad hominem attacks are also logical fallacies. When a poster has attacked the messenger instead of the message, the one so attacked can declare himself the winner on that basis and walk away victorious.
K thanx. I suspected that was probably the policy.
Was I wrong was not John Lee the rogue Mormon 9/11 compared to radical Muslims 9/11 but painted all the Mormons with that brush by the antis LDS?
So by your view this should never be compared towards LDS ever again!
Thank you!
