How can you cite an article on Godwin's law and not realize you are invoking a (not universally accepted) corrolary to Godwin's law, not the law itself?

From the link: "There is a tradition in many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums that once such a comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically "lost" whatever debate was in progress. This principle is itself frequently referred to as Godwin's law."

Seems like a perfectly proper colloquial use to me, based on the reference material used.

Godwin's law. You lose. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

I prefer Reductio ad Hitlerum...

Perhaps we should start using Mahatma Gandhi as the stereotypical example of "Charisma does not necessarily equal physical beauty"?

Damnit now we're back to Godwin's Law!

Ok, now I'm scared.

The resemblance is rather uncanny isn't it.

This is another WotC plot!

Bravo.

Yes I did... they're both homely, and both exceptionally charismatic.

And for what it's worth:
Gender refers to words in certain languages.
Sex refers to male/female

To quote Dictionary.com:

"Usage Note: Traditionally, gender has been used primarily to refer to the grammatical categories of "masculine," "feminine," and "neuter," but in recent years the word has become well established in its use to refer to sex-based categories, as in phrases such as gender gap and the politics of gender. This usage is supported by the practice of many anthropologists, who reserve sex for reference to biological categories, while using gender to refer to social or cultural categories. "

We now return you to your normally scheduled thread.
