Okay, maybe your point hinges on the "advocating violent acts" item. Well this is a pretty tight issue: hard to differentiate between someone advocating insurrection, advocating race war, and advocating going out in your own neighborhood and killing (whoever). Either way it is advocacy of violence against someone. [...]
In the U.S. at least, there is nothing illegal about advocating race war or violence against groups and classifications of members of society. What is illegal is inciting others to violent acts against a specific person or target. Saying "Kill all WASPs!" is not illegal, but saying "Kill John Doe!" could get you arrested. You are treading a thin line (and I would say have passed onto the wrong side....) if you begin establishing policy such that a particular group or set of beliefs is denied access without justification, but just because "they are X." If you try to censor the communications of those who you despise then you are no better than they are... jim
