I thought the first rule of usenet is, you don't talk about
usenet.

Of course. Why talk when a rant will do.

I thought the first rule is that when you're losing a
discussion, you insult the other person and compare him
(her) to Adolf Hitler.

Agreed, but sometimes certain Noonish things need to be addressed, and
in that sense he can be provocative enough to be deemed trollish.

Except in those rare cases where the needing to explain how Hitler's
mindless followers were the root cause of all problems, not Hitler. That
simple fact being genuine and true to prove them all wrong. Hitler was
never the problem, it was all those mindless followers that created him.
Just like all mindless, frightened, and lost followers always create even
more mindless leaders to voice their mindless opinions for them. Safe in
their woobie-blanket* of mass-hysteria nonsense that didn't change their
fears and insecurities one iota.

*(woobie-blanket -- n. small piece of soft and often badly soiled and
tattered cloth, carried by a frightened child for a false sense of security
during their early development)

Did I say "rare" up there? Ooops.

"There are none so lost as those who follow." ~caMel~

Hitler is just the results of people like that, never the cause. You're
blaming the horse's-ass for leading your cart down the wrong road. Now
who's the real horse's-ass.

****ed-up followers are fun to jerk around. They're already hopelessly
lost, so why not use them for something worthwhile. Entertainment!

The First Rule of Usnet :

"It is what it is".

Depending on what your definition of "is" is.

All we have to do now is throw Bernie Ecclestone & Max Mosley into this mix.

Excellent!

And quite a relief: it was beginning to look as if Usenet had become a
safety valve for inadequate personalities.
