Enough, already! There's more to life than these petty issues, so please stop beating them to beyond death.
If you need to focus your energies on something, please try a more constructive approach, like discussing how to convince a corporate IT dept.

This one has been 'used' by many approaches that can safely be suffixed with 'nazi'. There, I said it. It should die now.
