It looks like we have reached a consensus on this issue. And it therefore makes no sense
to keep stirring things up there.
However, I would like to address one point.

And you've just given us all an example of Godwin's law. You should
stop, if you have any capacity for self-control at all. You are
damaging your efforts in the working group.
If you read the article you’ll see it’s not a comparison. The article is just a brilliant
and impressive linguistic miniature of the enormous damage that can be done with a
rhetorical pattern, that is fairly simple and easy to misuse as well as easy to fall into
due to accidental inattention.
But reading the text again with your remark in mind I concede that it could have been
pronounced more clearly in this respect. I was too captured by the elegance of the text.
Take it for granted, I did not mean to compare you or your actions to Hitler in any way.
That would indeed be completely inappropriate and infinitely primitive.
