So now calling someone or something a Nazi is against the rules? Could the mods be so kind as to include in the list of rules any such rule, I wouldn't want to get hammered for some unwritten rule.

The discussion following that rule change (at the link) probably clarifies even further. We are dead set against banning words. You also cannot ban legitimate political terminology.
But we also face increasingly vile and ugly political rhetoric that distracts from discussions. So if you escalate the flaming to these levels of absurdity -- it better have something to do with the TOPIC or you better be able to JUSTIFY it in a Twitter sized package of words.

Politics has gotten nasty recently and that's how people want to engage each other sometimes. The thing that really kicked ass about this place was that it seemed to be the only large political community on the internet that didn't attempt to control the flow of conversation in any way. It's no longer unique in that way.
