It was used as an adjective to describe the approach, not an insult to
you.  Sorry I hit a button for you, but it wasn't meant that way.

Calling someone an idiot (as a direct object noun) is a far cry from 
using '-nazi' to attribute a dictorial style of management on the noun 
in question (which is NOT a person nor the direct object)
