Godwin's Law in Planning

I don't think I've ever heard of someone declaring an instance of Godwin's Law in planning before, but the Anitplannner has done it. The Washington Post described it as:
There is a dictum in Internet culture called Godwin's Law (after Mike Godwin, a lawyer who coined the maxim), which posits that the longer an online discussion persists, the more likely it is that someone will compare something to the Nazis or Hitler.
The key here is that people care enough about planning issues to get caught up in such heated debate.
