Hey PinheadX

     I was mostly referring to the word Nazi. I understood what Ash meant when he used the word "Yamaha Nazi", but the word Nazi is very offensive to a lot of people. As I stated, it is OK for me that Ash talks/writes that way, but sometimes you got to think about who the receiver could be, where you use it and how. Imagine that you use the word in front of a person that has lost most of his family in WW2, due to a sick person which had a sick idea of a pure race. What may have started as a joke, can very quickly get ugly.

Yeah well, enough said.
