I'm afraid that Antoninus is correct. It has been well established that once someone compares their opponents' position or actions to that of Hitler or the Nazis they have officially conceded the argument. It's one of the older rules regarding Internet discussions. While it was originally created as an explanation for USENET discussions, it easily applies to web forums (as these were not very common at the time that the Law was derived).

I'd submit that those advocating the criminalization and subsequent identification and imprisonment of homosexuals have unfortunately drawn the comparisons themselves, in spite of the old addage about such comparisons.
