1. I never 'called' anyone a nazi/fascist/totalitarian/etc. I said that they were easily compared to a nazi/fascist/totalitarian/etc. (actually I may have said that certain federal employees were dumber than nazis, or that I thought they aspired to be nazis, but not that they WERE nazis.
2. by saying that Evangelical Christians would be offended at being compared to Kangaroo Bone worshipers, you imply that there is something offensive about Kangaroo Bone worshipers. Otherwise why would anyone be offended? This attack against the dignity and sanctity of the Kangaroo Bone, is tecnically a violation of the rules as stated:
Offensive Language/Material
Any posts containing communications that are knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, obscene, profane, threatening, harassing, offensive, vulgar, abusive, hateful or bashing -- especially those aimed at sexual orientation, gender, race, color, religious views, national origin, or disability - will not be tolerated and will be removed. Individuals who do not abide by these rules are subject to having their FlyerTalk account permanently deleted.
IMHO, by disparaging the Kangaroo Bone in comparison to Evangelical Christianity, you have tecnically violated this rule.
