No, I'll handle it.

You'll love it because, where you are going, there are no roads, or taxes, or state-run healthcare programs, or minimum wage, or any of that tyranny. Not even border control.

I really don't get the point. Holocaust deniers are their own worst enemies. If this history forum can't counter and refute that, then what kind of history forum are they?

Just to play devils advocate for a moment. This isn't a site wide ban. This is their own private sub rules. Also, supposing their sub gets swarmed with holocaust denial threads, which has happened, why should they be obligated to let that happen and spend day after day refuting the same points over and over? Because it's not like they'll go away.

You are laughably innocent

So what you're saying is that it's ok to be swarmed with Holocaust propaganda and if it hurts your feels you should be denied a platform to discuss it.

Only Hockey spammers need to be banned.

Seriously though, I agree that it's probably the spamming aspect of the thing that is perceived as a problem. It gets tiresome real quick if the main function of the forum becomes putting out fires 24/7.

I wasn't the one who posted an article about a sub that implemented the ban. Wasn't that the whole point of this thread? A sub that bans holocaust denial?

And the feels bit? I'm of the opinion that people should be allowed to moderate their own forums. Make a holocaust denial sub if you want, without any kind of censorship. That doesnt bother me either. In fact there already is one.

My feels.

Reddit is down the hall and to the left.

Nobody gives a shit about your stupid Steven Spielberg talking point anymore.

Also show me the sub where they are allowed to violate EU law and discuss Holocaust revisionism
