Nazi ad hominems are a big thing in dakka and here's why;

Looks like this nazis suspension was up and he's back ruining threads... You're still avoiding the specific question

When you're poor at discussing topics and cannot form coherent rebuttals to legitimate discussion, yet are so enraged by someone's opinion, perspective or assertions, and simply cannot let them be, let alone challenge them with coherent responses - it is high time to take the classic godwins law approach.

Time to take your genius tactical shoutdown move, because you're so original....call someone a nazi and then with a mighty lack of self-awareness put the cherry on top and claim they derail threads.

By enacting your unstoppable 0 cp stratagem you become an unstoppable forum ubermensch because.

1. Mods tend to ignore users who do it and have a high tolerance for it despite the fact it breaks rule #1.
2. The brilliant ad-hominem cannot be rebutted by the person you throw it at, because political speech is banned here. unless of course that is you call someone a fascist or nazi.

Remember friends - To bungee down into a discussion you weren't actively a part of and drop this little gem is the height of cultured intellectualism. Make Godwin proud.

Is there a place to challenge such people's comments or are we just punching bags for this abuse?

Will the moderators make the public statement upon this conduct, that it is simply not acceptable. Will the moderators take any open actions to curb this behaviour?

If you see a post that you feel breaks the forum rules, report it and let the moderators deal with it as appropriate.

And yes, calling people names is against the rules.

Moving on.
