Godwins Law is merely an internet adage that sits in the jargon file of the slang dictionary. It was originally coined by a frustrated Mike Godwin because the word 'Nazi' was a problematic online topic killer.

Well the topic hasn't stopped here, in fact the title of the topic, the very thing that got this topic going invites us to discuss Nazism. The mention of Nazism on that other thread, didn't kill the thread but actually made the discussion move further.

Godwins law is fine, providing we don't wrap it up with Murphys law and although a few people have tried to do that here, the worst hasn't happened and the topic remains active.
