No, but seriously, your use of Hitler is exactly why people consider it to be an instant loss in a discussion of any sort. It was a disproportionate comparison which relies on one of the most evil men in history, and for what? To compare to people who have to piss with their shirts up?
But that's what hyperbole is: disproportionate comparrison. That was kind of the idea. And I'm not trying to "win" anything, I was just making a point.
