Sounds like you're talking about the Geek Social Fallacies: http://plausiblydeniable.com/opinion/gsf.html However, what you're talking about is sufficiently different in degree from what Greg was doing as to be different in kind (particularly with the example of "Nazi"), and I think it is unfair to bring that up in relation to Greg. (I have some thoughts about Greg, still debating with myself whether to post them. ;-) -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html
