[lbo-talk] Trying To Understand Marta's POV

[B.]

"Finding the meme of Nazi comparisons on Usenet
illogical and offensive, Godwin established the law as
a counter-meme. The law's memetic function is not to
end discussions (or even to classify them as 'old'),
but to make participants in a discussion more aware of
whether a comparison to Nazis or Hitler is
appropriate, or is simply a rhetorical overreach."
