Tears of the Day: Godwin Overload

If you have been on the internet for awhile, you have probably heard of Godwin's Law. I have noticed the highsec miners are becoming increasingly reliant on Hitler comparisons when they attempt to dissuade me from my noble quest. Surely this is a sign of desperation on their part.

Highsec miner frostedflakes took the lead in explaining why the New Order is equivalent to the Nazi party. His analogy is not that uncommon; some miners say that I violated the EULA by creating a "hate group". The EULA states,

You may not organize nor be a member of any corporation or group within EVE Online that is based on or advocates any anti-ethnic, anti-gay, anti-religious, racist, sexist or other hate-mongering philosophies.

Opponents of the New Order have actually interpreted this rule as offering special protection to the historically underprivileged group known as "highsec miners".

I can hardly be compared to a fascist dictator when my shareholders voted to expand my power over Kamio in a free, fair vote. Yet frostedflakes persisted.

As if he had discovered something profound, he dug in, and suddenly everything became a Hitler comparison.

But for some miners, Hitler wasn't so bad: At least he left their mackinaws and retrievers alone.

Having accepted the idea that I was some kind of leader, the question became whether I was a good leader or not:

You can't win with these people. First it's fascist to try bringing order into the system, next there's too much chaos?

By this point, frostedflakes was clearly reaching. But he stuck to his guns.

If bumping miners is reminiscent of the Holocaust, then blocking me in local is like burning books. Come to think of it, Hitler didn't spend much time in front of a keyboard, so doesn't that mean AFK miners are kind of like Nazis?
