Godwin’s Law
From the Wikipedia:
Godwin’s Law (also known as Godwin’s Rule of Nazi Analogies)[1] is a humorous observation coined by Mike Godwin in 1990, and which has become an Internet adage. It states: “As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.”[2][3]
So basically, if you are in an argument, given enough time someone will make a comparison to either Hitler or Nazis. One of these days I should time it.

Let me shorten that curve. I think that Godwin had an affection for nazi’s.
