I find it quite disturbing that someone's existence on ET can be summarily erased from history without leaving a trace behind purely because that person holds a minority point of view. Given the subject matter, the irony is not lost on me. By performing this deletion, you have actually given credibility to and legitimized his point of view. I fully expect to see the same treatment applied to those promoting and advocating other anti-race/religion/state points of view.
I'm not sure what your point is. If we ban somebody and then that person intentionally changes their IP address, their email address, and and their username all for the sake of re-registering on the site, there's not a lot I can do about that other than deal with it once it happens. Banning a username does not equate to sending that person to Siberia.
dude, c'mon, those numbers may be off by 20% up or down but it's not like moshe the rabbi said: this is the figure, and everybody else said: amen, or sthg... (or whatever they say...) am all for openness a la stephen walt http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1162903&highlight=walt#post1162903 but, revisionism??? think again...
Actually I was replying to you. You complained and then after my response saying the guy was banned, you asked me why was he posting new threads another another alias. All I'm saying is that it's pretty much impossible to keep somebody completely off the site if they have nothing else better to do in life than change their IP address, email, username, and other info for the purpose of getting another alias.
thing is, there is a lot of unnecessary puke going down the P&R section... think wael012000 and superkachzionistmofo (just made it up for balance but am sure there is at least one on ET) for instance... why not ban more agressively? that's freedom of speech vs freedom of puke mesays
i find it important to question one's own methods in judging and treating others. but i really think you underestimate the danger of these people when you call it a "minority point of view". consider if it was about raping three year olds and someone would start a thread "scientists proved: they like it". and people would argue back and forth and somehow end it. and the next day he would start one with "the two year olds are even tighter!". now, if that sounds disgusting to you it is intended. the two of us are on the same page here. if i argued, they just have a minority point of view regarding sexuality, that would be true, but it would somehow miss the pint, wouldn' it? now, does that comparison suck? forget for a moment about this whole zionist conspiracy jew crap and see just the human beings. gassed men, women and children. spend an evening reading eye witnesses', victims' and allied military personnel reports. then listen to some hitler speech, read excerpts of "mein kampf" (impossible to read the whole boring pamphlet) and get back to people like Publisher. go back and forth and check the validity of argument. and i would assume you would see that these guys are worse and more dangerous than rapists. sincere g
People like you piss me off!! What makes you think your version of the supposed "truth" is to be mandated for the rest of us. There are numerous intelligence reports that suggest the Holohoax was just that. Maybe you should worry about banning the internet altogether? lol
Yes, exactly my point. And the biggest problem of it all is our Politicians are cowering to these people like little children afraid and lost in the dark.
