| | Godwin's Law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Godwin's standard answer to the first objection is to note that Godwin's Law does not dispute whether, in a particular instance, a reference or comparison to Hitler or the Nazis might be apt. | | | Godwin's Law (also Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies) is, in Internet culture, an adage originated in 1990 by Mike Godwin that states: | | | One objection to Godwin's Law is that sometimes using Hitler or the Nazis is an apt way of making a point. |

| | How to post about Nazis and get away with it - the Godwin's Law FAQ |
| | Not only is it wrong to say that a thread is over when Godwin's Law is invoked anyway (Usenet threads virtually always outlive their usefulness), but long ago a corollary to the Law was proposed and accepted by Taki "Quirk" Kogama (quirk@swcp.com): Quirk's Exception: Intentional invocation of this so-called "Nazi Clause" is ineffectual. | | | Known as Godwin's Law, this rule of Usenet has a long and sordid history on the network - and is absolutely wrong. | | | This FAQ is an attempt to set straight as much of the history and meaning of Godwin's Law as possible, and hopefully encourage users to invoke it a bit more sparingly. |

| | Godwin's view is that justice demands that we act impartially for the greater good, which means saving Fénelon. | | | Here again, although Godwin appeals in part to consequentialist considerations to ground a duty to private judgment, it also plays an integral part of his conception of what it is to be a fully rational agent. | | | Such issues of interpretation remain very much in dispute in studies of Godwin (compare Clarke (1977) with Philp (1986)), complicated by issues concerning the weight to be given to the different editions of Political Justice and Godwin's later writings. |

| | The Hitlerite Nazi State operated under the rule of law, indeed between 1933 and 1945 that State introduced literarily over a ton of new laws, which were rigidly adhered to by the State, police, Gestapo, SS, courts, judiciary etc, etc and through fear a great many Germans. | | | The rule is law is a good thing but it is’nt the be all and end all. | | | Unless one feels Diplock courts, a police service that has a history of working in collusion with criminals and law makers who come from across the Irish sea to make and enforce laws which have had absolutely no democratic input from the people who must abide by them. |
