Edit: I should say, how do YOU argue on a forum?

Does anyone have any methodolgies of how they go about arguing on forums? Or do they just attack it kamikaze style? or spliff it?

The first one who calls the other Hitler or nazi loses the argument. At least that is what I heard years ago.

Godwin's Law.

But it depends on who you're arguing with. Usually the first one who is compared with Hitler is the loser.

I never knew this is an academically recognized term. I just spent the last ten minutes reading up on "reductio ad hitlerum"

It's not so much an academically recognised word as a Usenet rule of thumb.

However, it should be more commonly recognized that Godwin was a Nazi and espoused the 'Law' to protect Nazism from being disparaged.
