See...that's why politics should never be brought up. You think Trump invokes a certain German Politician. I think Biden invokes a certain German politician. And with that, I will no longer enter this thread again. It has gone to the dogs.

Yet you're the one who brought them up. Hysterical. Not to mention that you are not understanding what I am saying. Oh well.

So he brought up what he thinks should get the thread ended since it isn't going his way. Sounds about right here :rolleyes:

LOL

Nothing new Peter, nothing new. SSDD

By the way, and this is not directed at you at all, that Godwin's Law statement and idea, was deemed BS by Godwin himself, who said that people trying to invoke whatever, based on things he was saying, were wrong to do so and that they didn't understand him at all either. Just twisted his words and meaning to supposedly argue and support their narrative, or used it as a way to get out of an argument that they possibly weren't/couldn't win otherwise. It seems to be the way of the world today for many. LOL

Once again.......SSDD!

According to Wikipedia, it looks like his law only dealt with the probability someone would refer to the German individual as a thread went on.

Bobby, I knew if I just sat back and let you post, you'd eventually prove my point. And you did. Thank you.

I wonder if this is only for people in certain states? I'm in CA and have a resale certificate on file with them and I buy cards from them every week. I have not had sales taxes added to any of my invoices.

Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who are on board the PWCC=evil train, as it allows me to occasionally find some good deals there... For now.

PWCC has been growing though, not shrinking. They're doing more and more volume every month. It's the best auction platform in the hobby by a country mile, from a user experience, in my opinion.

I understand why you guys hate them though. I just disagree with your conclusions based on the evidence presented against them (for the most part).

Yup, and if you read further into that story/article and translate some of what Godwin was quoted as saying into more common, everyday English, his somewhat high-brow literary terminology and words, where he talks about how people have mistakenly used and/or applied his now somewhat famous internet adage, end up basically telling you the way his saying is often being used is BS, and it is not what he meant or intended it to be.

I got improperly accused once of breaking this so-called Law by one of the village idiots here on this forum as well, who likewise was ignorant of Godwin's actual meaning and intended use. Never let intelligence stand in the way of saying something stupid, right? As I already said, SSDD! Some things bever seem to change Peter.
