Once again over on the Etiquette Hell board they are wanking again.

It started innocently enough when Venus 193 started a topic wondering where the line was drawn for jokes to become tasteless and offensive.

Things go along fine until ToughOldBroadUnhinged(hereafter refered to a TOBU) makes this comment I have also noticed a tendency on the part of the PC Nazis to offend at will, as long as they are doimg the offending. here

Some-one gets insulted and blows a fuse. How DARE you refer to me or anyone else on this board as a Nazi! HOW DARE YOU! I'm guessing she's not up with all the modern use of the word nazi(man I would have to see her response to some-one using the word femnazi)

TOBU tries to explain the term as it relates to modern usage, but instead gets lectured about how horribly Nazi's were and how wrong it is to use the term "playfully"

Some-one tries to stop the thread by posting Godwin's Law and is promptly ignored by the rest of the forum.

That's pretty much all the choice bits except for a mod telling TOBU how she must only use the word Nazi in it's historical context and demands from others for an apology.
