I indef blocked and deleted the page. Why are we even talking about this?
Because Wikipedia doesn't generally ban users based on political affiliation? Banning someone for being a Nazi when it isn't illegal and they aren't causing any disruption is discrimination, pure and simple.
Nobody was banned for being a Nazi. They were banned for proclaiming it on their userpage. Which is disruptive. You are welcome to edit Wikipedia as a Nazi, or as a pedophile, or as anyone else. You are, however, expected not to use Wikipedia as a platform for proclaiming controversial views.
What's hard here?
