Boatered is still operating?

To a degree.

What an interesting study in how a highly disciplined group structure
ultimately decays to reflect the personal prejudices of the moderator.

Hey Wally, doesn't this statement invoke Godwin's Law?

Yeah, and it came from the left liberal press and whatever other source you
can cite to discount the point based on your inability to argue the point.

It happened during plenty of other periods in history.

Who gives a crap who you were talking to?

You cannot argue the point, neither can the worm.

I don't believe it does. My understanding is that Hitler must be
mentioned by name to invoke Godwin's law.

It's unfortunate that so few people are familar with (and observe) Mike Godwin's
convention, commonly referred to as "Godwin's Law." Briefly, Godwin's Law goes
like this:

As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a
comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.

There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs,
that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has
automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's
Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper
bound on thread length in those groups.

The first part is Godwin's Law, while the second part can be thought of as a
sort of "Godwin's Rule." (Jargon File)
