"There is a tradition in many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums 
that once such a comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever 
mentioned the Nazis has automatically "lost" whatever debate was in progress. 
This principle is itself frequently referred to as Godwin's Law. Thus Godwin's 
Law serves also to impose an upper bound on thread length in general."
