Chas mentioned "Usenet rule #4" in general,but I thought that I'd post the complete rule including the corollaries:


Rule #4: (Godwin's Rule)
Any off-topic mention of Hitler or Nazis will cause the thread it is mentioned in to an irrelevant and off-topic end very soon; every thread on UseNet has a constantly-increasing probability to contain such a mention.
Quirk's Exception:
Intentional invocation of this so-called "Nazi Clause" is ineffectual.
Case's Corollary:
If the subject is Heinlein or homosexuality, the probability of a Hitler/Nazi comparison being made becomes equal to one.
