The word you’re looking for is deft, my heated fellow.
And I already ‘violated Godwin’s law’, whatever that means, so there’s no “next.”
Ah, you did indeed. Sorry, I have plug-in enabled on my browser that filters out rapid successions of switching capital/lowercase letters.
Comparing living in a geographical region to a voluntary association is absurd. It’s specious reasoning.

Audience, should I let this knave think about this before I issue the slam dunk?
This whole post was amazing. Don’t stop.

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

It is, I won’t, and I’m glad you’ve come to your senses.

A citizen can belong to a political party to influence how Floridians live, but a Floridian doesn’t belong to a particular political party other than by choice. That’d be akin to me saying you’re a fascist if you were a Nazi, and you come back at me sayin nOt AlL gErMaNs wErE nAzIs! Yeah, no crap.

It’s not a “whatabout” (did you mean whataboutism?) Your position on this is absurd, and the way I addressed it was to think of a comparable absurd scenario. Members of groups are not monoliths with a single mind. Members of the church do not all think the same way nor hold all the same opinions.

Go on now, I know you want to violate Godwin’s law next. I’ll allow it.
Godwin's law is like Murphy's law: it's an observation, not a prohibition. But nice well poisoning! ;)

How does one “violate” it?

Easy - I violate it all the time (and so, my good fellow, do you) by not invoking H!tler or N@zis!

Mostly correct. However, as the law states the chances only approach one, we cannot be convicted unless we hold a conversation of infinite length without invoking the specified terms.
