See. I can't get away with posting shit like that. Quadz pulls out the "too soon" card when I post a LOLLERCAUST pic.

On the other hand, lets not detract from the fact that that's funny as hell.

So then it I probably shouldn't compare how Quadz removed my LOLLERCAUST pic to Nazism.

No, it means that the longer we talk about it the more likely it is that you will.

and it's not your fault

A law that absolves me from responsibility for my own actions. What could be more American than that? God bless the USA.

The long-standing interpretation of Godwin's Law on Usenet where it originated, has been essentially: The person engaging in Reductio ad Hitlerum immediately loses the argument, and the thread can now end.

Regarding the Hitler achievement unlocked image vs. the LOLLERCAUST animation, I would concede we're in entirely subjective territory here. Personally, actually seeing an animation of people being gassed (ASCII though it was), complete with swastikas and LOL's at the individuals' demise, was a bit much for me at the time.

I do not, however, make any sort of promise to be entirely consistent in the future. It's always going to be a bit subjective.

Regards,

3. How free is free speech here? Within the limits described above, we generally encourage and foster freedom of speech on the forums. However we do have a history of disallowing racist speech or hate speech. Unfortunately this is very hard to define in writing what's OK and what's not. If someone is showing genuine humor, or is being light and ironic, it might be fine. If someone is acting like an a$$hole, probably not.

Note the italics.

I'm reminded of the editorial policy of former New Scientist editor Alun Anderson, which was summarized as: Science is interesting, and if you don't agree, you can fuck off!

In this case, substutite "science is interesting" with "I'll use my best judgement".
