They're not funny, they are stupid and hurtful.

list of Forum memes.

Trolling- a troll is a forum member that the moderator chooses at random to flame for lulz.

Citation Needed- where some dude could show you a whole page of calculus to prove his point, but it is considered completely irrelevent if you can't find an idiot in YouTube comments saying the same thing.

Billy - "XBOX360 is 4 SUXORS, it has SHITTY GRAPHICS!!!"
Bob - "I disagree"
Billy - (links to a YouTube comments page)
Moderator - Billy has a citation so his opinion is right (bans Bob for not posting a link to of somebody else saying "I disagree")

Godwins law - It means Adolf Hitler is God and that you shalt not take the name of Adolf Hitler in vain.

Lolocaust - Adolf Hitler's gift to internet forum members for lulz. It doesn't matter that 6 million people died from starving, poisioning, and sufficating, as long as it was all done for lulz.

Hitler - "Pwned you Jew!!!"
forum user - "internet meme! lulz!"

I find your list of examples short and cherry-picked.

Also, Godwin's Law has nothing to do with deities. It was defined by and named after Mike Godwin, and means that when you're in a discussion, the first to invoke the Nazis, preferably in some sort of comparison, loses the argument. Because if you have to resort to comparing your opponent to Hitler, you obviously ran out of better things to say. Do your fuckin' homework.

Your claims are pretty outrageous. Can you provide a citation for any of them?

Godwin's Law is hardly that, even. It's the stipulation that the longer an internet discussion goes on, the chances of a comparison to Hitler and/or Nazis approaches 100%.

Didn't you hear him? The trolling meme is stupid and hurtful. You should be ashamed of yourself, blackhole89.

I think he meant to call the concept of accusing somebody of trolling a meme, not the act of trolling.

On a more serious note, this thread just seems to be a slightly rehashed collation of Aaendi's past attempts to make threads trying to disparage complaints that have been made against him in general/abstract terms (see here for the "citation" thing). As there was pretty unequivocal agreement about this being a childish and blatantly obvious thing to do, I don't think the forum will miss out on much if I just lock and dispose of this thread on the spot.
