I cannot remember the link because it was a long time ago but some Scientist (I believe he was European.) Came across this funny theory. The theory is that the longer an internet argument goes on, the more likely someone will bring up Hitler or anything Nazi related. Does anyone remember reading about this? And do you think it's true? I personally think it is after watching a few heated debates in the forums.

Its believed that any conversation will eventually lead to Hitler or Nazi Germany, not just internet ones.

True, but it seems that it is more frequent on the internet.

Its Godwin's Law

Wow, are you seriously trying to bring up this theory, trying to force it upon us? I object, stop acting like such a nazi about it.

Grammar nazi is more likely

Well hi there, irony. I've missed you.

Boy, more Teutonic punnery. I did nazi that coming.

... I'm not sure that it is true but I've witnessed this kind of behaviour in some forums. When people no longer know what to say, when they are out of arguments, they generally come to calling the others names, nazi being one of the names. It's the internet version of punching someone on the nose.
