    Ooh, good point. Could you imagine if the admins accidentally made it so the word "muffin" was replaced by "Nazi"?

    Couldn't vote - no option for just "No". But I vote "No". Freedom of speech should rule. Everyone has the right to be an a**, some people just abuse the privilege. But then, that allows us to know who they are and how to respond (or NOT).

    This would just create more work for the mods, and as someone else pointed out, give anyone the . Use your Ignore function. NOT the one avaiable on PriusChat - the one you were born with.... :lol:

    If you did that, would it also change my user name to Lover Muffins? I'd like that.

    Of course, if you did that, the mods would get upset with me for having yet another name of mine to keep track of.

    (Oh yeah, by the way, per Godwin's law, this thread is now closed. Heil PriusChat Hitler!)

    I'm already thinking of changing my signature.

    **************
    In order to avoid invoking Godwin's Law, each day I will be using one of 2500 different descriptions of people which I consider to be the functional equivalent of the word that Godwin decided shouldn't be posted.

    Failure to type the exact banned word should not be taken as a failure of me to think it applies, but since the rule only applies to one specific word I can call you Pal or Buddy and if you don't get the meaning it's too darn bad...
    **************

    It's like frak on "Battlestar Galactica", only even less-likely to catch on...

    Hey you gun-grabbing liberal Nazi, keep my name out of your little liberal sheep mouth in threads that I'm not participating in..

    Was that Godwin enough?

    Just kidding livelychick, I don't think you're a nazi. :) More of a socialist..

    WildKow, liberalchick is the most confused socialist I've ever had the displeasure of conversing with.

    Well there is a definite Freudian component in her responses, maybe this will help . . .

    Perhaps this condition stems from all that stroking? This applies to the left as a hole don’t you agree?

    Freud's views on human emotional development were discredited decades ago. And his preoccupations with sex reflect his own sexual neuroses, shared by many of his Victorian contemporaries.

    Nowadays, fixations on Freudian interpretations of sexuaity are generally regarded as juvenile. Grow up, Kow.

    I voted "No, ..." but I guess I should have held out for a "Just No" option.

    While there is plenty of sloppy reasoning and name-calling on any online forum, not every instance of comparison to Hitler and the Nazis is invalid

    While it's true that the bases of many Nazi atrocities have been long-ago thoroughly discredited, there are certainly other topics of active debate and serious consideration today for which National Socialist policies and practices can provide instructive (which is not to say definitive) historic examples. Medical euthanasia and gun control are two that come to mind.
