Tough shit.  The rest of us don't have to modify our behavior to satisfy the 
irrational and capricious preferences of a few uptight jackasses.

What a wonderful example of your misundertanding of Godwin's law.

Godwin's law is, essentially: "As the length of an argument on 
$ELECTRONICCOMMUNICATIONSMEDIUM continues, the probability of a comparison 
involving Nazi Germany approaches one."

That's not the exact formulation, of course, but that's the gist of it.  
Nothing about "losing" the argument.  Nor should there be.

Why?

Because there are times when comparisons with Nazi Germany are quite apt--such 
as in the case you're having a shitfit about.

You're the one getting upset about stuff that doesn't matter...
