That's a pro move that predates Reddit. Same rule applied back when forums ruled the internet.

Unless I'm having a serious Berenstain moment, Godwin's Law is that any argument, if it goes on long enough, will eventually escalate to accusations of Nazism.

Edit: Goddamn you, I see what you did there.

Whenever my mom wanted something done around the house she'd start doing it herself. Dad was usually out building fences or evicting raccoons or whatever but she knew I wouldn't be able to stand not doing it. I found out later that she wasn't even really trying. My wife still uses the same tactic on me.
