Must be why he constantly bashes us over at Atari Forum....

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_Law

For example, there is a tradition in many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums that once such a comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically "lost" whatever debate was in progress.

and...

In some countries such as Poland, due to Nazi crimes against ethnic Poles which caused the death of over 2 million Polish citizens, actual comparison of someone to Hitler or Nazi is very rare during an online discussion. Using a "nazi analogy" is not only considered to be an inadequate hyperbole, it is also considered to be a sign of one's total lack of historic knowledge.

Obviously, no Polish people would be reading Atari-Age... after all, only most of the great 8bit stuff has come from Poland in recent years........
