Sympathy for the players.

[Baldur]

someone said nazis.

nazis, hitler. does godwin make such a trivial differentiation? thought this would make his rule hypocritical.

"Godwin said that, given enough time, in any online discussion—regardless of topic or scope—someone inevitably makes a comparison to Hitler or the Nazis"

While I referenced a silly movie while commenting on conspiracy theory. You on the other hand

"Godwin's law itself can be abused as a distraction, diversion or even as censorship."

So adjust your tinfoil hat, all good. Nobody is saying that what Essendon did is akin to what the Nazi's did. Now that would be Godwins.

This used to be such a nice thread. 5 pages long, 2 pages of nazis and godwin.
