Holocaust Denial

Actually it was my poor attempt at sarcasm. I thought you knew I support the Holocaust revisionists' efforts (the honest ones anyway) yet I don't consider either them or myself haters of any sort.

The dudes prancing around with swastikas, though, are another story.

Well, looking back over the thread it seems that there were a couple of different issues - one being historical revisionism per se, the other being the laws in some EU countries criminializing such attempts at revisionism.

First of all, I personally have no problem with legitimate historical scholarship. Secondly, criminalizing 'revisionism' is a dangerous and misguided policy, it may lead to criminalizing legitimate historical inquiry.

I prefer to let people make their own arguments freely and let them be judged in the court of public opinion.

Fair enough.
