I Don't Want to be Right

[Tal]

Perhaps, but unfortunately people have turned it into something much more. People get scrutinized or even banned from forums or discussion because they take this "law" seriously and it actually becomes an overarching rule, in some instances, where even mentioning Hitler or anything Nazi related gets you accused of invoking Godwin's Law. The ironic thing about it all is that it actually ends up proving the point of those it seeks to silence or discredit. It's also bad for a number of other reasons but I won't get into that right now.

But nevertheless I wanted to make a point about it since it came up.
