That is not my experience, having read his postings over the last
several years.
I have never heard him preach on this usegroup.
I would not even categorize any of his posting on the recent topics as
being predominantly religious or zealous.


He was behind that Utah State Tri-Motor Fly-In ...or was it the Tri-Wife
Fly-In? hehehe...that just never gets old


Forget CJ; he's a fascist Pat Robertson wannabe

CJ went to the Philippines to assassinate President Arroyo? Wow.

You forgot ol' Pat's hysterics over the past 25 years.

Odd. I can't stand Mr. Robertson. Or fascism. Or you.

I invoke Godwin's law.

Funny, you're his philosophic twin.

Or fascism.

Funny, you don't invoke fascism directly (by name) but so much you've
written stems right out of Mussolini and Rocco (conrol over peoples personal
lives, mixed economy...).

Or you.

From a slug like you, that's certainly something I can live _very well_
with.

Fine, but the description fits.

I think you would be hard pressed to demonstrate that.

I think you would be unable to demonstrate that, either. I have no
interest in control over people's personal lives. If believing in a
mixed economy is proof of fascism, then nearly everyone is a fascist,
for nearly everyone believes in some sort of government regulation.
Even the Libertarians.


Or you.

And you still lose the argument. Godwin's law has been invoked. The
thread ends.

OK I'm naive. What is Godwin's law?

Godwin's Law: prov. [Usenet] "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. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper
bound on thread length in those groups.

Give a person a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a person to
use the Internet and he won't bother you for weeks.

Godwin's Law states that the longer a thread on Usenet grows the
probablility of someone calling a Nazi approaches one. There is a
general rule that calling somebody a Nazi, fascist, communist, or some
similar term for those terminates the discussion, with the person who
used the term automatically losing the argument.

There are exceptions. You don't get to terminate a thread just by using
the expedient of calling someone a Nazi. That is cheating. Also, if the
thread is specifically about Nazis in, say, some group devoted to
Holocaust deniers, then Godwin's Law cannot terminate the thread or all
of the threads would be pretty short (not necessarily a bad thing, in
my view).

There have been people who have used sock puppets to call themselves
Nazis simply to terminate a thread and to make it look like they were
the winner, but that is really beyond the pale.
