I didn't say you had broken Godwin's law. Quite the contrary you have proven it. Good job buddy.

No, he wasn't, but that also wasn't what you were commenting about. Not once, but twice: "whatever works" and "who cares if someone complains..."
Sorry, dude, but I don't abide by bullying others. Persuading them is fine, but ridicule, mockery or other such tactics are immoral IMO. We can disagree, but that is the way I feel. It doens't matter who is doing it, it's wrong.
Your comments about me being silly instead of offering a logical response and FP's constant, but false complaints about Godwin's Law should be indicators of what is wrong with your argument.

Is it moral?
That thread is a trap, and a rather obvious one at that.

Yes. Do you believe it is not?

And your not being a hypocrite for saying so.

Agreed to an extent. Specifically, Godwin's Law refers to people who compare something to Nazis or Hitler. Since no such comparison was made, the accusation is spurious and reflects poorly on the person making the false accusation.

Another excellent example of a person who would rather make emotional and insulting accusations rather than logical or reasonable ones. Please tell me again how Richard Dawkins' followers are all about reason, logic and truth.
Guys, you are your own worst enemies, not me or anyone who disagrees with the opinions of Professor Dawkins. Personal attacks, sexual insults and other verbal abuse work against you, not for you. Sure, that may have seemed to work in high school, but in the adult world, it won't garner you any respect nor accomplish the goals you seek.

The entire notion of Godwin's Law is designed to expound upon the moral prospect of extreme evils. The parody is because the Nazi's and Hitler are used as moral goal post for the critics.
Whether or not they are directly implied is irrelevant, because the notion of Godwin's Law specifically states that as discussion continues to grow in depth the example is bound to pop out in any manner that is reactional to a moral belief.

You really have an obsession with Dawkins. Everything is not about Dawkins. This thread is not about Dawkins.
What can I do better?

Agreed about the Nazi's being used as "moral goal posts" or markers, but disagreed about the intent of Godwin's Law. It's too easy to take an extreme evil like the Nazi atrocities and compare it to something else we dislike. Don't like Republicans? Compare them to Nazis. Don't like corporations? Compare them to Nazis. As the Wiki link stated, it's about Reductio ad Hitlerum.
When fantôme profane falsely accuses me of violating Godwin's Law, he is simply making an insult, not a logical argument. When waitasec posts "369..." or "you are being silly now..." he isn't adding intellectualism to the discussion or facts, he's merely posting emotional rhetoric in the form of insults and ad hominems. It's sad, but these are the tactics Richard Dawkins and his followers are engaging. Not reason, not logic, but insults and bullying.
