oh man, godwin's law again... and this time actually authentic. -.-
Godwin's law
As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.
Interesting lol...
Although my statement was a joke to counter the assertion that European's are somehow superior (which in itself was a joke)
You forgot the part where the topic should be fucking done when that happen, and the person who does the nazi/hitler reference automatically lose in whatever argument he was involved.Originally Posted by Sidanoir
Does not apply here, I was not involved in an argument and yes this thread should be shut down.Originally Posted by Zilong
Read the fine print. (EDIT some fine print attached)
A joke is a joke...I was not arguing nor losing an argument...way to show a lack of critical thinking skills.
Here is what it means:
4. That still doesn't answer my question. What does it *MEAN*?
The Law is generally used on Usenet as an indicator of whether a
thread has gone on too long, who's playing fair and who's just slinging
mud, and who finally gets to "win" the discussion. It has, over time,
become the closest thing to an impartial moderator that Usenet can get.
So, what this means in practical terms:
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.
See bullet 2.
I'm starting to think we're going to need a page about xkcd comics on the wiki at the rate we're going. they're getting to be as popular as kuno cards were once (ok, not yet spammed as bad as the cards were once but you get the point)
You say that like it's a bad thing.Originally Posted by Amele
I know this is BG I'm talking about, but the drama is really starting to wear me out. This, Taj fallout, etc seems like its not gonna die for another couple weeks.
All these threads should just be locked and let die, but that would be backseat modding so I'm not gonna recommend that. I will however recommend that people stop making retarded posts in drama threads just to up their post count.
Starting... now.
ok
