Goodwin's Law states: Many message boards have implemented a rule where any comparison to Nazi's or Hitler causes a thread to be locked by the mods, ending all debate, with the understanding that whoever made the comparison is considered to have admitted defeat. This poll is to gauge interest in such a law here in FHOP - it would help keep some threads from going on quite so long, as well as help keep individuals on topic and keep these ridiculous comparisons to a minimum. How does everyone feel?
I feel that Goodwin's Law was invented by Nazis to stifle revealing their evil intentions. If someone acts the part, naming them for what they are shouldn't carry a penalty...
Just don't feed the trolls and the threads won't devolve into that crap. The trolls spew fearmongering, use race baiting, and constantly state how every but them hates America. They clearly are not going to be swayed to reality and due to the inflamatory nature of their posts, they are not even interested in convincing those that bite on their bait. Hence they are trolls. Merely looking to get a rise out of people. (Though I reserve the possibility of them recieving monetary benefit from them spewing their inflamatory BS.) Don't feed the trolls!
