the most worthless thread in the world

anyhow, the fact remains that when I see someone bringing up nazis or whatever when trying to prove an unrelated point, my brain shuts off and label the other party as an uneducated boob.
 
I'm pretty sure the "necessary or germane" statement does NOT cover what I was talking about--I think it means factual Naziism, not ideological (for example, if you're discussing the geography of Poland, and you have to bring up that City X was occupied by the Nazis and became German-speaking because of that).
