the Holocaust was fiction !!!

Wikipedia is not at all legally culpable for people writing encyclopedic content in a tone that isn’t appreciated by some people. And, if it is anywhere on the planet, it should not be.

You’ve got to keep speech and expression out of the courts. Although, obviously, I hate Nazism, I believe that people in the Western world, the modern world, that is, should enjoy freedom of speech (expression). I understand that we’re talking about Germany, and this is a sore subject. As it should be. The Germans should continue to make a show of there disdain for the crimes of their fathers and grandfathers. However, they’ve instead relied on a strategy of just ignoring it, and refusing to even talk about it. This was confirmed by a professor of mine, a German, who travels to Germany and appears in conferences, or television talk groups, etc. They won’t even properly discuss the subject — and undoubtedly, some of their reasons for not discussing the subject clearly (and condemningly) are related to the policy cited by the woman initiating this suit — that showing too much Nazi symbolism, etc., basically too much of anything that is considered Nazi related, is taboo. As the culture has a way of reinforcing and extending culture-related law, they don’t even talk about Nazism, in addition to not showing symbols. (What on earth do they fear? That just showing a swastika, along with a clear depiction of the horrors of Nazism will somehow induce people to join a neo-Nazi group? Quite the opposite. The only reason anyone was induced to become a Nazi was because the horrors were never presented — and those that were presented were only presented after a slow process of mass indoctrination, and a long slide down a slippery slope.)

As someone stated above, get involved with Wikipedia if you don’t like the way an article is being presented — you’ll not only be right-ing a wrong, you’ll be doing the world a favor. Otherwise, leave speech and expression free, especially on the internet. A man should be able to say anything, anything at all, and it’s the job of good men to counter anything said by bad men with their own speech and writing.

That’s why I contribute to Wikipedia — to spread truth, and counter any falsehoods that might try to take advantage of Wikipedia.

Legislation can never achieve what widespread participation in Wikipedia can — because the mass of men are good (enough), and sincere in their participation in a project that aims to communicate truth to the masses. Legislation (and legal interpretations) that restrict freedom of expression on Wikipedia or elsewhere only deter people from participating — which, in the end, will slow or stop the process of truth winning out over falsehood and ideology disguised as encyclopedic content.

So, thanks be to God that the suit was dropped.

Now shut it big dummy!

If they were smart, they wouldn’t baby-sit the population.

Oh wait, his system of propoganda was closed, like all systems of propoganda, where people can’t edit it.

To 27, I must say I think the German economy is sound … too sound, the reunification of Germany has made them the biggest economy in Europe, leaving Britain aside … and we helped reunify them …

You’re absolutely correct. Free speech ain’t pretty and protecting/spreading it includes allowing the fraking Nazi’s to speak.

We don’t like people to be Nazis….so let’s act just like them in repressing free speech and ideas.

But instead of calling ourselves Nazis, we’ll just call ourselves “Progressives”.

What’s stopping them from denouncing anti-administration speech as ‘nazi’ and limiting it?

If they’re truly scared of a new Nazi uprising maybe they should combat that with better ideas, a more sound economy, etc. This is how you put it to rest, not by acting like it never happened.

Relate that to why China blocks wikipedia…”

Ok: Because the facist Chinese government doesn’t want the competition? The great thing about jack booted thugs is they all look the same whether they’re rounding up roma or women pregnant with their second child, or maybe just some guy unfortunate enough to annoy a provincial governor.

Beijing 2008 – Berlin 1936, the only difference is the food…

Anyway, she already withdrew her charge and now wants a discussion. Funny, she said she would’ve wanted one before but she couldn’t find a contact address. Cause it’s so damn hard to find the “Impressum” link on every page…
