| [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, |
| the probability of a comparison involving Nazis |
| or Hitler approaches one." |
| |
| There is a tradition in many groups that, once |
| this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever |
| mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost |
| whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's Law |
| thus practically guarantees the existence of an |
| upper bound on thread length in those groups. |
| However there is also a widely- recognized |
| codicil that any intentional triggering |
| of Godwin's Law in order to invoke its |
| thread-ending effects will be unsuccessful. |
