It seems to me that, all too often, epithets like "folk nazi" are hurled at posters who are doing nothing more than stating their opinions. The Nazis as we have come to know them were not about free exchange of opinion - they were about crushing free opinion by some of the most atrocious means known to humankind.

I have to agree with Praise. The use of epithets on Mudcat can only serve to lessen the sense of freedom and trust we share which allows us to exchange our ideas freely. Better we offer our contrasting opinions than trying to belittle others for the opinions they hold.
