[edit] User:Wwagner/Userboxes/Grammar Nazi

The use of the term "Nazi" in this userbox, in association with the Nazi swastika icon and the reference to the SS, is disruptive and inflammatory. John254 04:31, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - The symbol and "SS" part aside; the word Nazi has nothing to do with it. As the relevant Wikipedia article shows, it's not something the owner made up in order to offend people, he took it from an actual online meme that exists. If you want to delete it because of the actual word, then perhaps you should find the three or so other Grammar Nazi user boxes that don't have Swastikas and German writing. ≈ The Haunted Angel Review Me! 10:01, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

  You can't put the swastika and the SS aside -- that is the reason why its opposers want it deleted. Remove those, and you've got an ok box. Xoloz 15:23, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - Who are we afraid of offending? Hitler?--WaltCip 13:25, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete As configured, it does tend to bring Wikipedia into disrepute. There are inoffensive alternatives here. Xoloz 15:23, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Since it seems that the "opposers" are not going to give up on this, I've {{db-author}}ed this. You've won a stupid victory. Enjoy your moment. — Wwagner 15:29, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
