If anything, to him, it'll just validate what he feels and he'll just chalk it up to Shroomery being owned by Jews or something like that. Any chance at a debate or changing of opinion is lost. I agree with what others say but at the same time we don't ban people for being bible thumpers or any number of controversial whatever opinions so why are we banning holocaust deniers?
Banning someone for having an unpopular opinion seriously crosses the line. I don't even know why W_S continues to enjoy his position as an admin; he gets way too emotionally involved in this crap and it leads to baiting and abuses of power. Remember what happened to zappaisgod?

Both types have been used in Asia.

Well the guy is banned now and his last posts were the ones in here. I'm not gonna cry over this nazi dick (and since it was probably a puppet account there's no harm done), but it's kinda ridiculous.

It's not like the swastika has any power besides pissing people off. Why would someone waste their time rehabilitating it. Seems like an epic waste of time that will just make you hated.

Personally I want to reform the symbol of the cross to its original meaning as an ancient torture/execution device. The christians have tarnished it!

Not really. It still is a symbol of torture. It's just that Christians get off on seeing their savior being tortured.

I tend to agree. Aside from the association with Nazism it is a cool symbol geometrically, but it's always going to piss people off.

Depends on how you look at that. He's named after theb Thule society, keeps poking the fire of nazism in several threads and then that last one insinuating auschwitz was a summer camp, that he makes a stand for the NSDAP and a Sieg Heil to boot.
Admin consensus so far is that he was here to troll and/or recruit, two things we don't want here.

Bollocks. The Russians had you running before the d-day landings. We hear a lot about the yanks because of their bodged attempt at Omaha beach. It was a combined effort in the end but the Russians got there first.

Very good point but who wants to go giving a damn commie any credit. That would have ruined my whole spiel on Diversity and blah blah..
