blocked and deleted the page. Why are we even talking

Because Wikipedia doesn't generally ban users based on political
affiliation? Banning someone for being a Nazi when it isn't illegal
and they aren't causing any disruption is discrimination, pure and

Nobody was banned for being a Nazi. They were banned for proclaiming
it on their userpage. Which is disruptive. You are welcome to edit
Wikipedia as a Nazi, or as a pedophile, or as anyone else. You are,
however, expected not to use Wikipedia as a platform for proclaiming
controversial views.
What's hard here?
