Godwin's Law

Godwin's law states that:
As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one
In many newsgroups or internet discussions, once the comparison has been made that is the end of the discussion and the person who made the reference will have immediately lost the arguement, whatever the debate may have been.
