The so called Nazi clause is itself the invocation of Godwin's Law. Your
reading skills are flawed or you could have determined this from the
abounding literature available on the Web. Also there are many examples
of Godwin's Law being invoked and subsequently Quirk's exception being
raised. Thus

As much as I'd like to get into the details of Godwin's Law and
Quirk's Exception, I'll leave it with a minor explanation. Quirk's
exception essentially says that you can't say Hilter! There, the
threads over. It doesn't say anything about invoking Godwin's Law.
Quirk's Exception: Intentional
Godwin's law in no way states that that the argument has been lost. Only
that the thread has outlived it's usefulness. Unfortunately your
invocation of Godwin's law forces it to fall under Quirk's exception
which generally makes you the fool.
Cheers,
Rob.

I believe according to Godwin's Law, Mr. Cummings has now lost the
argument.
That kind of thinking leads to things like Hitler :|
