If you continue to make personal attacks as you did [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:FisherQueen&diff=prev&oldid=343245768 in this edit], you will be blocked from editing. OhNoitsJamie Talk 23:33, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
:It is hardly a personal attack to point out someone's faulty reasoning, particularly when that person contributed: "In that case, fuck you. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 04:13, 10 February 2010 (UTC)"--Norm, Vancouver, Canada (talk) 23:40, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
:: FisherQueen has made it very clear that she considered it to be a personal attack (as it is to many people) and yet you applied it again. Editors who make repeated attacks on other editors (especially when they're based on a good faith vote at an AFD) will be blocked. OhNoitsJamie Talk 00:03, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
:::By applied again, do you mean that I posted essentially the same message at both danflave and FisherQueen. It seems fair to make each aware of the comment since they were involved in the original conversation. If FisherQueen considers my comment a personal attack, what was the F.U. statement she posted? Perhaps you could explain what the "many people" considered a personal attack. I merely pointed out that person took offense to a statement that she determined was directed to her and it could have been a criticism intended to apply more generally.--Norm, Vancouver, Canada (talk) 00:12, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
::::In regards to the offended editor, no one was EVER singled out by the term "Delete Nazi". The quote was, "I am so sick and tired of these "Delete Nazis" who deign what is "newsworthy" and what is "not newsworthy." It was part of a larger comment that was referring to Wikipedia's general policy. One editor chose to take the comment personally, and responded with vulgarity. If someone works THAT HARD to be offended, they usually will be (I get that, because I am usually the aforementioned offended person; it comes from over-thinking something and NOT looking at the gestalt). I understand what you were saying Norm, and that you were trying to be humorous. It's easy to use faulty logic when reading ANY type of criticism and assume that it is directed at you (again, it happens to me often enough). What he was saying was something akin to "Why do you assume that this is directed at you?" Except Norm did it with humor and style. Lou2u (talk) 01:03, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
Is freedom of speech such a dangerous thing that a person should be threatened merely for excising it?
You MUST (that's right I am emphasizing this word) look at the etymology of the word and the context.
From enotes.com "In modern times, the word "Nazi" has meanings that go beyond this. We of course use the word to apply to the actual members of the Nazi Party. But we also use it to refer to anyone who is a fanatic about a cause, especially one who wants to force others to agree with/be like them." and "Either way, the word's meaning (its "semantic range") has grown considerably in the last few decades of the 20th century. The popular comedy show Seinfeld introduced us to "Soup Nazi," for example, and women activists for equal rights are sometimes still derisively called "feminazis.""
Today there are "Shoe Nazis," "Spelling Nazis," "Style Nazis," etc. The list is extensive and could go on for pages actually.
The etymology of words change over time or vary by place. In the US a "biscuit" is called a "cookie," "Crisps" are "Chips," and "Chips" are "French Fries". Over time a "computer" stopped being a job that a person held, and started being a reference to a machine.
People have been PASSIONATE (there I go again using all caps) about this subject, but being offended by some of the comments that have been made really does take an assumption of bad faith on the part of the "offendee" in some instances.

The comment that offends me is being accused by an admin )(ohnoitsjamie) of making a personal attack then repeating a second attack. Additionally, the admin implied that I make "repeated attacks on other editors." I simply want the the admin to recognize his or her overreaction and withdraw the accusations. Reasonable and fair, I think. --Norm, Vancouver, Canada (talk) 02:24, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
::: I was offended by the comments that were made against you by ohnoitsjamie as well. They were threats. What you said, "Hey FQuoon, Danflave was talking about "closed-minded, deletion-happy Wikipedians" being delete Nazis. Apparently, you see yourself in that description," was basically spot on. If the person didn't become offended by what was clearly a general statement, there would have been no perceived "attack". To then have the GALL to liken ANY compound word containing the word "Nazi" to what happened in WWII is ridiculous. The original poster used quotations around "delete Nazis" clearly showing how the word was being used. That's like saying "She makes fun of everyone that wears white after Labor Day, she's such a fashion Nazi" is the same as comparing someone to Hitler. Ridiculous. Some people work VERY HARD to be offended. I call "Shenanigans". There was NO PERSONAL ATTACK except when Dan was attacked and later when ohnoitsjamie attacked you. I tried to reason with ohnoitsjamie, but his mind is clearly closed. How do you have conversation with someone who shuts out anything they disagree with? It's like trying to teach a stuffed dog new tricks! Lou2u (talk) 05:08, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
