and various other vintage-RK lies and insults. 

As anyone can check by looking at the block log, I was actually
the first sysop to block the Nazi user NSM88.  I was also the
first to bring the issue to the attention of this list.

For the record, I blocked NSM88 because it was a new account
which had only made edits like changing "Many empires and
rulers have sought to liquidate the Jews" to "Many empires and
rulers were forced to liquidate the Jews".  I don't believe that
merely identifying as someone who holds obnoxious beliefs
is sufficient cause for a ban, but I thought he was crossing
the line by pushing those beliefs into articles in such a
blatant manner.  I'm conflicted on where the boundary is;
that's why I initiated this discussion.

Zero.
