This dispute looks either like some combination of original research,
disruption, or possibly active but intellectual support of holocaust
denialists.

Even without the latter, and AGF, if what you're doing is semantic
original research and perceived as the community as disruptive, it's
the sort of activity which Wikipedia is specifically not here to be
driving.  Write an article elsewhere where it's appropriate.
