Too many people have been far too accommodating of reductio ad hitlerium. If your argument uses any of the following words you are wrong, your point is invalid: Nazi, BNP, Hitler, any other dictator, gas chamber, holocaust and other words associated with such concepts. The reason your argument is not worth reading is that you are implying that by disagreeing with your argument that the person disagreeing with you supports the mass extermination of 6 million people. This is an absurd position for anybody to take but is still increasing popularity. To combat this I shall be implementing the following policy with immediate effect in a hope that people stopping use here will cause some effect in the wider world and I will end up reading fewer flawed and banal arguments.
From now on ANY post resorting to reductio ad hitlerium in any form will be emptied and replaced with the following message:
This post was deleted because the user is an idiot and cannot form an argument without resorting to invoking Godwin's law (reductio ad hitlerium) which is banned on this website.
Any usage I fail to spot please report via pm.
Moderators, admins: please follow this policy with immediate effect. Do not worry about retroactive enforcement unless you have time on your hands.
Obviously note the exception that using the words themselves is not banned as discussion of history is not banned.
