[OT] Posting etiquette [DEAD THREAD]

[Joe Rhett]

It was used as an adjective to describe the approach, not an insult to
you.  Sorry I hit a button for you, but it wasn't meant that way.

using '-nazi' to attribute a dictorial style of management on the noun 
in question (which is NOT a person nor the direct object)
