I Won't Be Fair To Facists, I Won't Be Nice To Nazis - Short Form

LONG TIME COMMENT READERS here will know that from time to time I have been posting the comments of someone with a fascist, even Nazi adjacent cybername.   Though you may not realize that is what it is, I am enough of a student of neo-fascism that I knew it the first time he used it.  He is certainly aware of the implications of using and and, I'd guess, he suspected I'd be, as well.

I believe he's someone who used a different cybername here in the past, someone I used to engage in sometimes long and sometimes rather heated arguments, some of those on a rather more intellectually advanced level than your typical online blog brawl but someone who I have engaged less and less often as his comments became more and more fascist, even Nazi adjacent.   I temporarily banned him in the past for bringing what were arguments conducted here to another blog where his comments weren't welcome.  As I will point out, the whole reason I moderate blog comments is because I will not host attacks made on other people who aren't active participants in a confrontation and who, so, can't defend themselves.  I will not post comments that attack People dishonestly.   I had my fill of that at the ol' baby blue blog that I quit twelve years ago and I didn't intend to host one like it, myself.   I have no problem with attacking someone who attacks me in an active blog brawl, that wasn't the problem with the comments of the guy in this case, it's a. the slander of third parties and b. the non-stop lies.  

Anyone who wants to post comments here can either follow my rules or they are wasting their time typing out their slanders, third-party attacks and lies.   I will, also, not host fascist-Nazi adjacent content under any conditions.  Such content should be universally banned as should any other unjust, anti-democratic content.  I think People and publishing outfits who carry such lies should be liable to be sued into silence by those who they attackand it's due to the stupidity of the Supreme Court and the First Congress who wrote the First Amendment so badly that prevents that.   I'd be a hypocrite if I carried that content after railing so long and so often against it.   We can discuss that if you'd like but only if you follow my rules.
