So what exactly IS your definition of a “cycle nazi”. For MOST people I talk to, and whose opinions I read, it pretty much means:

“Anyone on a bicycle, scooter, small motorcycle or ANYTHING other than a car, in fact, who even REMOTELY inconveniences ME in ANY way as I drive along in my SUV texting, reading a book, talking on a cell-phone, shaving, doing my make-up and generally NOT paying ANY attention at ALL to what is going on outside my vehicle”.

Does that about cover it?

Not to speak for DogBarkTree, but it could be that his definition of "cycle nazi" is somebody who gets together with a couple thousand other cyclists, who ignore the law and take over the center of a city, brutalizing anybody who comes in their path.

Which would differentiate him from your garden-variety cyclist who is just riding along like a civilized person.
