I don't feel particuclarly stongly myself about the 'nazi' aspect (as it relates to fascism etc), but I do note that some here find it offensive and am willing to respect that.
In my case I don't like or use the term primarily beacause of it's apologist connotations where safety is concerned.

if you read my post you should understand that it is up to the reader to interprete. I just choose to use it to illustrate a use of the word - perhaps even in an ironic way since real nazis are so fond of making people behave the way they want them to, and people who prefer freedom will (ideally) let people say what they please.

in regards to "safety nazi" explicitly, well, we use the term "towel b!tch" too, but only in group. at a professional performance, then we keep it professional
I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

my point was to try and get everyone to think about how ironic it is that the word nazi suddenly starts making people act like, well, nazis - if they take the word too seriously. And there IS a point to the phrase "words are words - they only mean what you make of them." It means that just because someone chooses to get uptight about a certain word, it doesn't mean I have to.

To me, the words "republican party" and "president bush" get me way more agitated than the word "nazi" ever could, but apparently not everyone feels that way. does that mean everyone on this board should avoid those words because I don"t like them? If me using the word nazi is rude, then anyone using the word repulican must be rude too since now everyone knows I don"t like the word. Certainly that is ridiculous, no?

Perhaps a way you can see the viewpoint of those who do object to the term 'safety nazi' being applied to safety people, would be to imagine a world where those who, at fire meets, were known for their emphasis on safety, where called 'safety republicans' by people who, like you, seriously dislike republicans?

i find this kind of ironic. why do you not use a word you are comfortable with when you are trying to be "professional." would that be considered hypocritical? (not accusing, just wondering your take on it).
myself, i am consistent with my behavior whenever possible. i go to every job interview with all my piercings in because that's who i am, job or no. it doesn't stop me from being a professional, or from just hanging out with friends. i don't use certain language with friends that i won't use with clients or coworkers. for myself, if i were to "adapt" my behavior i'd feel like i was ashamed of something.
if safety nazi is such an acceptable term in your circles (this is addressed to anyone who uses the term), why would it not be appropriate to continue the use of the term even in professional settings?
