Godwin's law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"Godwin's Law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies) is an adage formulated by Mike Godwin in 1990. The law states:
'As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.'
Godwin's Law is often cited in online discussions as a deterrent against the use of arguments in the reductio ad Hitlerum form."
