And the idea that would you tolerate a Nazi anywhere is really a despicable thing to say to a person that has lost families at their hands.
I have the greatest respect for you, but I hope you will pardon me, because this goes to liberty and free expression. If you ban someone's presence or rights of expression based only on your detestation of his views, you become a tyrant to him and a slave to your presently held opinions.
No it does not.
It is not about free expressions. Making threats is not protected speech, nor is advocating the death of other people.
British and US laws are very clear about this.
Nazi's and pedophiles should never be welcome anywhere as they have but one shared goal, and that is to satisfy their abnormal lust.
And please, I do not need respect from anyone, am not looking for it, and refuse it from someone that would tolerate a Nazi for any reason.
That is what The Roman Catholic Church did when they helped these people escape to S America and I had hoped you were not that type of person.
I am sorry to see I was wrong and remain optimistic that you talk to someone that puts some common sense back into you because I like what your offer in chess, but now will not even be able to enjoy that aspect of you.
Let me be clear: I have no respect at all for your position.
You? Yes, a little, but only because I hope you come to your senses as your powerful and skillful rhetoric could help solve problems instead of allowing them to live on and be empowered by your inactivity and unwillingness to do what is right.
You have convinced me I need not be here, there is no reason to spend any more $$ here and I will likewise try to influence others to do likewise.
If that makes me a slave and a tyrant, I can sleep well tonight and each ensuing evening with that new definition attached to me knowing from whence it came.
I am sure I will not be missed and I equally sure I will not miss anything really significant to me.
Good luck with your own latent hatreds.
Sincerely,
