[QUOTE="Wolfspider, post: 84572, member: 300"] One thing that I've noticed from my time participating in internet discussions is that whenever someone starts comparing something somebody said did to the actions or words of a dictator (like Hitler, for example), it's a sure sign that things have gotten out of hand and the flames are really going to start roaring. It's the worse kind of skewed hyperbole imaginable. Saying that some people are better than others IS NOT the same thing as killing six million Jews. For example, in [url=http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?threadid=2252&perpage=20&pagenumber=6]this thread[/url] from RPG.net, the poster "Evil Fungi" compares somebody's comment that people should wait to judge a game until it's actually come out to people not standing up to Hitler's racial purification. Yikes! Yes, things really got out of hand after that. I think that message boards should be set up to automatically delete any post with the word Hitler in it. Oops! Now that I've mentioned the H-word (even though I was just using it as an example), I'm sure this thread will go up in a firestorm and have to be closed. How ironic. [/QUOTE]
