As usual that statement makes no sense at all, how do you know which posts won't make you laugh and so you can avoid them?

I will make no more mention of said person but I would like to say that, on reading the Wikipeadia article on Godwins law it appears to be a convention, not a law as such, as there is no illegality in it. However, I will abide by that rule if it applies on here.
I think that, in general terms, you are right Jay. Some people, and it could be any number of people from history, do appear to be able to achieve power whilst probably being inherently unsuited to wield it, and it is possible that these people are not, indeed, corrupt but simply just bad.
Having thought it through I suppose corruption does come from gaining power as opposed to the "naturally bad" who come to power. In this sense I do agree with you Jay.
