Now, is this thread dead? Nowhere in Godwin's law is it stated that the reference of Nazism or Hitler will kill a thred. Godwin's merely states that if a thread goes on long enough, chances of references to the above go to one. There is a corrollary which states that intentionally Godwinating a thread is doomed to failure I believe.
