pennsicdance: "Dance Nazis" (was: Floor)

[Zachary Kessin]

I'm with Henry on this one. The term "Nazi" is thrown around all to freely 
to my mind. Nazism was on of the great evils of the 20th century 
responsable for the murder of 6 million Jews and millions of others. It is 
not a word that should be used for anything but actuall well Nazis.

had the good fortune to survive the shoah when she was a little girl.
