So one should not post a quote relevant to the topic of thread if it has something to do with Nazis?
You remind me of a
certain South Park episode. That's where Chef demanded to ban a flag depicting a lynch, thus giving children a knowledge about the lynch. Really, nobody thought about Nazis and Hitler until you "enlightened" us. The point of quote is not in its link with Nazis or Hitler; you should really actively hate them to fight with them even there.

Yes, talking about Nazis (that's what you do) adds little to the discussion. Posting a completely relevant quote "First they came..." adds a lot (because some people there still don't understand that if they will allow censorship in such an obvious case, the censorship (now absent) will establish and god knows what will be banned next).
