Hmmm... Another new nym... I wonder what bigotted zealot created it... Could it be one who has been blocked by many?

Meanwhile, Godwin's law is hereby invoked...

 

Godwin's law (also known as Godwin's Rule of **** Analogies or Godwin's Law of **** Analogies is an assertion made by Mike Godwin in 1990 that has become an Internet adage. It states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving ****s or Hitler approaches 1." In other words, Godwin said that, given enough time, in any online discussion—regardless of topic or scope—someone inevitably makes a comparison to Hitler or the ****s.

Although in one of its early forms Godwin's law referred specifically to Usenet newsgroup discussions, the law is now often applied to any threaded online discussion, such as forums, chat rooms and blog comment threads, and has been invoked for the inappropriate use of **** analogies in articles or speeches. The law is sometimes invoked prescriptively to mark the end of a discussion when a **** analogy is made, with the writer who made the analogy being considered to have lost the argument.
