Flagged for the continual reference to a group of people that committed genocide by killing millions of Jews and others and comparing that to people clicking a downvote button online.
more recently, it has become a slang term used to described people who are overly concerned about details (in an unhealthy way), and like to correct others on every occasion they get. Especially evident on internet forums, blogs, and youtube https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nazi
I apologize if this video is offensive to you and or adetorrent and or anyone else but yeah.
Words do change meaning over time.
Thank you for not downvoting my comment which I once again did change change. :)
I was very surprised. I thought you were one of the people who did a LOT of downvoting?
I do a lot of downvoting for abuse. You can say what you want, however tastelessly worded it may be. The difference between the Seinfeld episode and what you have been doing is you have literally used images from a concentration camp in your post to liken a downvote to Nazism, which is very poor form.
I would imagine would could have at least one or two Steemians who are now dead from suicide.
I "guess" I "probably" should have mentioned that before but I think Steemians should be very careful who they flag.
I guess maybe fascism would have been a better but overall I think things have gone better than I expected and I had a real shocker last night which I will likely mention if Steem gets back up to $1. ;)
Suicide in the United States
Suicide is a major national public health issue in the United States. In 2017, there were 47,173 recorded suicides, up from 42,773 in 2014, according to the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). On average, adjusted for age, the annual U.S. suicide rate increased 24% between 1999 and 2014, from 10.5 to 13.0 suicides per 100,000 people, the highest rate recorded in 28 years. Due to the stigma surrounding suicide, it is suspected that suicide generally is underreported.
I do apologize and I did remove the nazi and also the thugs reference.

I think I was clearly trying to use a derogatory term to that I would refer to his unfair downvoting.
Once again I do apologize and I did delete the reference so please undo your flag.
In the spirit of fairness although me and acid don't seem to get along that great since he seems to keep unfairly repeatedly flagging me over and over and over and over again and he even flagged me multiple times on this post even after he let me know about it. I think it was unfair to set me up for downvoting. :( https://steemit.com/ocd/@acidyo/pywkyf
I do like to joke around "perhaps" "a bit" too much. :(
I dunno that sounds a little more mean-spirited. What if I called him acidnazi would that still be offensive or maybe rewardspool nazi?
Did you ever see the show? I apologize if it offensive to you. :(
I don't know, I'd steer away from the term completely. But that's just me. I'd stick with something like "Police"... but then who am I to say what people can or can't say? I realise it's now in common use to mean something else.. but I think it minimises (and softens) a major human tragedy in history.
Anyhow, you sound like a normal person haha. Peace.

I think you may have removed a downvote? If so thank you very very much. Could you also please modify your comment. I think it's fine but perhaps you can make it even better? If not no biggie.

People no longer have any sense of understanding of the words they use.
I know right? It used to bother me a lot, but now it really rubs me the wrong way since visiting Auschwitz during SF3
It definitely put some perspective behind it for me too.
Who dat? ;) lol

How old are you? Your pic looks kinda young. I think I will use #nosteemfor you in the future.
It's a very extreme example which I feel is actually very warranted.
I haven't ever mentioned this before until now.

Old enough to know when someone has no idea what they are rambling about ;D
lol It's hard to be totally serious all the time. Are my comments becoming even more stellar? :)
So 40? lol
