NAZIS TRYING TO INFLUENCE CHILDREN!! STOP THEM
On Friday 18 August 2006 09:03, Patrick stood up and spoke the following words to the mbuttes incomp.os.linux.misc...:
Well, BOCHS was really slow the last time I used it, as in a factor of at least 20. Qemu OTOH, performs reasonably running Win2K. I use Qemu for...
Godwin's Law does not apply here since neo-Nazi's are the very subject of the post. Don't abuse Godwin's Law to avoid having to speak of an unfortunately still existing ideology.
Furthermore, Godwin's Law is not a law at all but just Godwin's own conclusion that whomever brings up a *comparison* with the Nazis as an argument in a discussion has no other (and more valid) arguments left for his case and therefore loses the debate by default.
This has however led to a frenzy of grasping on to Godwin's Law whenever the Nazi's are mentioned, even if a comparison would be justified, since the Nazis were responsible for a lot more than just genocide - it was after all a fascist regime and certain aspects of such a regime can and may be used as an illustration when talking about similarly behaving corporate or governmental organizations.

However, the Godwin frenzy exists, and if - say - I (or anyone) were to write that I (or anyone) saw someone the other day who has the exact same mustache as Adolf Hitler had, some idiot is bound to invoke Godwin's Law as an excuse to rally other posters intoplonkingthe thread. This is nothing other than pure opportunism and delusion. Making the Nazis a taboo is not going to undo what they did, or what others are trying to do, either in or not in memory-worship of their evil ideologies.
On the other hand, this whole thread is completely off-topic in a technical newsgroup about GNU-Linux and should have been directed at socio-cultural and political newsgroups. I also don't see what makesrec.woodworkingorsoc.retirementeligible for the reception of this thread. And the follow-up is set tocomp.os.linux.misc,which makes it even more ludicrous.
But then again, the OP is a Google Groups poster, and we *all* know how intelligent *they* are statistically, don't we?
