No, not really. Sometimes we sarcastically call people 'Blockwart' who
are overly pedantic. Kai's remark certainly was not in good humour or
taste, especially not since he couples 'Blockwart' with 'saeubern', but
he was not seriously calling you a Nazi. It was ill-humoured taunting,
if that makes sense...
