2. Not really...
it seems like discussion threads that immediately START OUT by hurling the "Nazi" epithet don't meet the criteria.

3. Just hope it doesn't apply to whole boards

4. Godwin's Law does not even remotely apply in this case.
Here the question to be considered is actually ABOUT THE NAZIS. Calling Godwin here is like calling Godwin on a discussion of WW2--which it is, come to think of it.

5. Actually, it does
Most of the discussions start out about the new pope, then descend into WWII, and then into the inevitable name calling and comparisions.
