:::::: I'm not convinced that the holocaust denier situation is a valid analogy, because denying that the numbers were near six million is denying that much of it actually happened, not merely whether or not the word "holocaust" applies. Secondly, the issue as much as anything is why you called him that. Was it just a technical description of his views or an attempt to denigrate him? His views had already been spelt out, so putting a label to them, even if accurate, does not add anything. That and the apparent tone of your comment including your comment about being unwilling to discuss it further with him because of that indicates to me that it was an attempt to denigrate him. So I stand by my comment that it was out of line, and am taking appropriate action. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J.
