Godwin's Law is dead.
When people make Nazi jokes, accuse someone else of being a Nazi, bring
Hitler into the debate, or anything else... Nothing Happens.
The thread continues.
People make Nazi puns.
People make jokes.
I propose a new Usenet Law, to be called "Seebach's Law":
Whenever someone refers to Godwin's Law, the thread in which
they do so shall be ended.
I can even explain why:
Newbies don't know who Godwin is, they see "Law", and they back off.
Experienced posters feel that, Godwin having been named, there's no
point in continuing.
