"If you go ahead and say something, people will get mad and accuse you of being too bold/impudent/forward, expecting too much, or asking too many questions. But if you keep quiet, people will criticize you for being too wimpy to stand up for yourself."
As a child and teenager, people always griped at me for my speaking my mind, and so I finally got too timid to open my mouth. Nowadays, however, many folks --- including some of those very same criticizers from my youth --- tell me that I need to stick up for myself more and stop being such a wuss... can't win! Classic example of "Murphy's Law of Speaking Up", I guess.

Get the The law of "Good Will Hunting"mug. Formally Stated Godwin's Third Law is: For every mention of Godwin's Law, there will be an equal and opposite negative reaction. The statement means that in every interaction on the internet, where there is a pair of opposing opinions a reverence to Nazism or Hilter will be made, followed by some reference to Godwin's Law ; immediately followed in turn by a reference of Godwin's Law (see Godwin's Second Law) and then inevitably a further remark, usually made by a third party stating that Godwin's Law does not apply or that any mentioning Godwin's Law is somehow shouting down the argument . With each level ofassertion Godwin's law the BS level grows exponentially.
Third Party: Godwins "law" is really just an internet trend. It is NOT an actual law, nor is it part of actual debate or logic.
Forth Party: Ha ha! Godwin's Third Law - you lose.
