Interesting link, I think this part is particularly relevant:
"Godwin's law itself can be abused as a distraction, diversion or even as censorship, fallaciously miscasting an opponent's argument as hyperbole when the comparisons made by the argument are actually appropriate."
If somebody feels that making a comparison is relevant during a discussion, then they have the right to make that comparison. Trying to censor them because you disagree with it isn't helpful to the discussion at all.
