I accept that you have that view, but I oppose your acting on it.  That 
is, you can think as your personal opinion that Nazis really should be 
blocked on site, and that's your prerogative, but I oppose you actually 
taking action to do so.  That seems consistent with the position the 
"free speech" side has been taking.  You can think whatever you want, 
even if I strongly disagree with it, but when you start putting it into 
practice then I may well oppose you.

Similarly, nobody is arguing that Nazis have a right to turn [[Jew]] 
into a propaganda piece; to engage in endless revert wars; or to do any 
of the other things against general Wikipedia policies.  If they try to 
do so, they'll be banned for that, just like any other POV-pusher would 
be; there's no need to have special policies explicitly for Nazis, when 
the problems they pose are exactly those any other POV pusher poses.
