James, will you please, for the list, copy paste and post where I proposed anything, other than thoughtfulness with respect to the political noise on the board who’s topic has become a subject of dispute recently?

The proposition that of late there is a lot of nazism around, both ironic and unironic, needs to be balanced by the fact that there has long been a great deal more of entirely unironic communism around.

Raising the brown scare in an environment where the red scare is still far more appropriate is like worrying about people being killed by witchcraft, in an environment where witches are frequently being burned at the stake, but examples of people being harmed by witchcraft seem to usually turn out to be fake.

In the current environment, anyone who raises the brown scare is evil or insane.

If I see anyone pointing at real, ironic, or imaginary nazis, I figure he is planning to kill me and kill my children, and in the current environment, and in view of recent events, that is a reasonable conclusion.

You pointed at some real Nazis.   I conclude you intend to murder me and everyone like me.  This is a reasonable inference from the events of the twentieth century, where such pointing frequently has led to the deaths of everyone like me.
