I have benefited enormously from my involvement with SE, and am hugely grateful for the effort you and the team have put into it. I didn't know you are gay, and I don't feel any different about you now that I do, I'm still grateful and your work helps my work every day. However my conscience is telling me I need to reconsider my own involvement. Judging by the votes on the answers here, what you have chosen to do has broad support, but is nevertheless divisive. With hindsight, do you still think this was the correct thing to do? — Jack Douglas 15 secs ago
Godwin's Law (or Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies) is an Internet adage asserting that "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1"— that is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Hitler or Nazism. Despite being described as universal, regardless of the subject of the discussion, Godwin's law is more likely to be applicable to social topics (including politics, law, religion, etc.).
