Godwin Point (i.e. baselessly accusing people of emulating
nazi/fascist behavior).
Perhaps we should concentrate on some facts: namely, that person was
editing articles related to Jews and heavily pushing certain very
specific points of views (holocaust denial) everywhere (even though
these points of views were already discussed in relevant pages),
including in headlines.
In short, the user was very very probably a troll intent on disrupting
Wikipedia.
If you had chosen to look at my whole post rather than just the point
that amuses you you would have seen that my reference was ONLY to the
picture on his user page. It would be inappropriate for me to comment
on the POVs that he expressed on other articles because I have no
intention of reviewing them, so I didn't. Nor did I comment on his
banning, which may very well be justified by his behaviour. My point
was strictly limited to a user's rights to portray himself on his own
user page in a manner that best describes him.
And who was "baselesly accused"? Essentially, I was commenting on those
who proclaim, "We will not tolerate ..." The Nazis did a very effective
job of not tolerating.
