Godwin's Law FAQ

-or-

"How to post about Nazis and get away with it"

One of the most famous pieces of Usenet trivia out there is "if you mention Hitler or Nazis in a post, you've automatically ended whatever discussion you were taking part in". Known as Godwin's Law, this rule of Usenet has a long and sordid history on the network - and is absolutely wrong. This FAQ is an attempt to set straight as much of the history and meaning of Godwin's Law as possible, and hopefully encourage users to invoke it a bit more sparingly. Of course, knowing Usenet, it won't do an ounce of good...

There is one exception, however, to Godwin’s law- when Hitler or Nazis are the actual subject of the conversation. When discussing Switzerland’s history, that cannot be overlooked. Godwin’s law is not meant to erase that episode of history, it is meant to stop a discourse from going off topic by applying false strawmen.

Nice try, but it’s relevant to the discussion. Don’t answer the fact,instead post some nonsense usenet rule.
