Well it's taken me a bit more than 200 posts to record my first comparison to Nazism but only because it is so glaringly obvious.

To quote from your Wikipedia reference:
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.

Godwin's law itself can be abused as abuse.

Much simpler.

You were trying a bit too hard here but I guess its worthy of bite from me

These posts seem to be delusions of grandeur by association, {insert name} was intelligent and was British, I am British hence I am intelligent.

You sir, are the equivalent of my dog digging up a bone and then claiming to be a palaeontologist.

I mentioned no minority groups at all. Nor did I suggest anyone was a victim of anyone else. It was a comment about how the zeitgeist seems to accept when whitey does it bad it's his fault but when someone from another group (minority or not) does it bad it's acceptable to blame other forces. This can apply almost anywhere in the world. It is not an absolute or my claim at universal truth but a personal observation. Calm yourself, you are being ridiculous. My jab at the apparent absolution of personal and/or cultural responsibility is very simple - I hold everyone to the same standard regardless of colour. If they can't behave I won't accept it's because their grandfather was a slave but they now live in a first world nation with full benefits or because their religion is different and so they are allowed to live by different rules.

The Nazi's also perfected running torches around the country before the Olympics...Makes our current government Nazi's people who brazenly embrace a technique perfected by Nazi's. Stop and think once in a while before bringing up the Nazi's. The Communists also did the same sort of thing - all bloody socialists, one hates Jews the other hates rich people.

Hitler didn't like smokers and was a vegetarian. Therefore non-smoking vegetarians embrace Hitler, no?

I think you're latching on to one statement that's made with some irony and making it out to be a maxim I live by. My goodness you really do take things so perfectly out of proportion. You must be incredibly dull at dinner parties. The statement was not particularly clear cut to you or even directed to you. You clearly didn't understand it and didn't bother to clarify as that might be too easy, but used it very well to attempt to assassinate my character. A technique employed by both Nazi's and Communists to discredit their critics...that and good old fashioned shooting anyway. I don't take kindly to being compared to Nazi's because they walked and I have two legs anymore than you would - you have no interest in my position, only in nibbling away at me as a person like a termite.

We also have a saying in Britain...and you're full of it. I really must stop feeding this troll/termite.
