<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4610462, member: 110350"]Because suggesting that people here might not want to visit an openly neo-Nazi website, in which the intellectual level of the discourse is so high that every other post uses the "n" word, Pepe the Frog and holocaust denial (or, alternatively, cheerleading) run rampant, and just about everyone believes in conspiracy theories under which the you-know-whos control the world, is exactly the same as the original Nazi government -- not that there's a real difference from neo-Nazis, other than power -- confiscating and burning "Jewish" books. Typical Alice in Wonderland logic of conspiracy theorists. All I can say is that the more people post about places like that, no matter their high opinion of the debating skills of its denizens, the more disturbing it is. I've spent the last 35+ years debating Holocaust deniers, and I'm afraid that the logic (or absence thereof) and rhetoric of Covid-19 deniers and conspiracists are remarkably similar. I've also had a 35+ year career arguing for a living, with great success, against the most talented attorneys in the country. So the idea that anything other than the rules here (and the fact that I have more interesting things to do) constrains me from truly engaging with all this nonsense, or that I'm afraid of or unfamiliar with people like that, is completely misplaced.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
