I said a person hating hatred is hypocritical. A person criticising criticism is a hypocrite. A person being intolerant of intolerance is a hypocrite.
How is this calling a Jewish holocaust survivor a hypocrite? What piece of reality did you stretch to put those words in my mouth?????

Right there.

Who cares if it has anything to do with the smoking ban. It's called conversation flow. Conversations move in and out of subjects, and cover more than one aspect. Sometimes you have to break something down to understand the rest of the argument.

Yes you do, but this isn't doing that. It's an irrelevant nitpick by you and someone else that needs to stop before it gets out of hand. What's more, the thread was only 4 pages long and you managed to kill it. It's practically unsalvagable.

As to Nazism, it was used as an example because it's extreme. No one was called a Nazi. Everyone understands what it was/is It's a clear example. Try and understand it and comment on it, instead of misrepresenting it's context and attacking it's existence as an argument at all.

It still applies, as you HAD to use that example to argue your point. Far more realistic and modern examples could have been used, but you chose one that will likely draw emotions out, rather than one with more applied value.
