A) Personal spite can in no way be equated with Fascism.
B) Banning someone for irrelevant, uncalled-for, slanderous and
hateful rhetoric is entirely appropriate.

Isn't the phrase we are looking for here "please, don't feed the
trolls"?

If Henne's going to be a disrespectful jerk, then
I'm going to call attention to it, until he stops.

Wrong. Henne determines the standards that apply to this forum. If
you
cannot abide that, too bad.

The fact is that you'll never be able to hide your identity,
regardless
of what email address you use. _Your_ disrespect is distinctive.


Having been guilty of godwin myself, I can see the effect here.

Please explain term "godwin" - it is not an expression I've come
across.

Ciao.

"godwin" for Godwin's law?

Godwin's Law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies)[1] is an
adage formulated by Mike Godwin in 1990. The law states:[2][3]

"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a
comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."

Godwin's Law is often cited in online discussions as a caution against
the use of inflammatory rhetoric or exaggerated comparisons, and is
often conflated with fallacious arguments of the reductio ad Hitlerum
form. (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law)
