Yes, be sure and read it, esp. this:

It is considered poor form to raise such a comparison arbitrarily
with the motive of ending the thread. There is a widely recognized
codicil that any such ulterior-motive invocation of Godwin's law
will be unsuccessful (this is sometimes referred to as "Quirk's
Exception").

[....]

However, Godwin's Law itself can be abused, as a distraction or
diversion, that fallaciously miscasts an opponent's argument as
hyperbole, especially if the comparisons made by the argument are
actually appropriate. A 2005 Reason magazine article argued that
Godwin's Law is often misused to ridicule even valid comparisons.

Oh Dear God! What other laws exist? Did I do wrong to add information?
Did I have an evil intent in the post?
Authors in many publications do not get read by me...I fly too much. I
am on my knees asking for forgiveness.
Please set me straight. Use my personal e-mail and we might become
friends. Fred.
