Strangers Law

I agree with this proposal. Apparently it's based on something called "Godwin's Law" which states:

As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one. There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress.
