Ken je Godwin's Law, over hoe snel een internetdiscussie uitloopt in gescheld over nazi's? http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/legends/godwin/
o If someone brings up Nazis in general conversation when it
wasn't necessary or germane without it necessarily being an
insult, it's probably about time for the thread to end.
o If someone brings up Nazis in general conversation when it
was vaguely related but is basically being used as an insult,
the speaker can be considered to be flaming and not debating.
o If someone brings up Nazis in any conversation that has been
going on too long for one of the parties, it can be used as
a fair excuse to end the thread and declare victory for the
other side.
Een andere omschrijving:
Godwin's Law (also Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies) is an adage in Internet culture that was originated by Mike Godwin in 1990. The law states that:
As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one. There is a tradition in manyUsenetnewsgroups that once such a comparison is made, the thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress.
In addition, whoever points out that Godwin's Law applies to the thread is considered to have lost the battle, as it is considered poor form to invoke the law explicitly.
