What's really "just odd" is that amid calls for Helga to be banned,
she offers a link to an article that with minor editing would join
the argument on behalf doing so:
"Out of this long and painstaking examination I have come reluctantly
to the conclusion that nazi-sympathizer internet kooks should not be
allowed to write Wikipedia articles. I am now convinced that a nazi-
sympathizer internet kook is not a free person. Freedom, I believe
is the most essential ingredient of Wikipedia and democracy."
I propose the "Communists Should Not Teach in American Colleges"
link be moved to [[Censorship]] under the heading "Philosophical
arguments for censorship," as its contribution to the topic of
the [[Communist Party of the United States of America]] appears
relatively inessential.
